Verdict

Switching from Gulfstream Park, Noble Intentions led off the home turn to land a similar contest here two weeks ago and a follow-up is a possibility. Only a neck separated My Masterpiece and Unabridged over a slightly shorter trip here last month with No Sniveling close up but Bettyb a distant last. That was the third time in a row that Sandrino Hernandez’s charge had got the better of Gary Wales’ mount and the confirmed front-runner can maintain dominance but is on a long losing run. PIONEEROF NEW YORK (NAP) never looked like being caught once hitting the front here in February and there is scope for further improvement under Antonio Gallardo.
