Bath Monday May 1 2yo race review

Bath 1600 Mon May 1 Median Auction Stakes 5f10yds, Class 4, 1m1.73s (slow by 1.23s) Firm Rock of Estonia . Won on debut at Windsor three weeks previous. Jumped straight to the front. Challenged at 2f on both sides, showed big heart to fend off rivals on both sides and win pushed out hands & heels in the end, giving at least 11lbs to rest of field. Joe's Spirit . Apr 1, £42k yearling (17k gns foal). Settled on the rail behind leader. Pushed through on the rail to lead by half-length at the furlong but run ended, only just held onto third. Ghepardo . Apr 30, €20k yearling. Dam very slow but half-sister to handy 2yo Sir Reginald among others. Parked outside leader and appeared to be going better when challenging at 2f but couldn't go with front two. Kept working home late and still seemed to have something up sleeve on the line. Cranworth Phoenix . Apr 6, half-sister to several winners. Reared at start, settled a few lengths behind. Never got near them. Watch Tan - ...

Jumped well, straight onto the pace under a nice hold from Spencer. Stoked up just before the 2f pole, pushed right out to win but whip wasn't pulled at any stage. Angel of the South , Mar 2, £170k yearling. Dam ran third to (Arc & King George VI winner) Danedream in Italian Oaks. Jumped OK, straight onto the rail handy to the pace. Pushed forward as they went through the crossover, and eyeballed the leader/winner at the 2f. Tried hard, whip pulled twice but unable to put nose in front. Handy run but should see more as she goes up in trip. Daddies Girl , Mar 18. £5500 yearling. Dam was terrible (peak OR of 51, nev...
