Never any doubts for Act of Genius
Act of Genius had it all on his side in the Punchinello Handicap. Smooth stall transition, no-one to bother him, and a straight passage. Coming Home was left muted with Divine Date.
Interestingly, Doctor Patsy Sercombe's trio of winners, each wore cheek bands. Certainly, concentrated mindsets.
Joanna deleted her Graham Trophy field, zealously showing us what she is really capable of. Bampton correspondingly, busted any aspirations from Player X in the British Legion Gymkhana Cup, and, Liverpool simply escaped from any Reveller interventions, without further ado.
Strider was always peaking in the Drap D'or Trophy, even when Ripon and Arlington, became slight agitators. Beeston did not introduce his regular flames of desire.
