Verdict

A hot renewal of this listed contest with WHISTLEJACKET taken to emulate his distinguished brother Little Big Bear and make his second outing a winning one having been beaten in the same 6f maiden here on debut. Arizona Blaze and Morning Vietnam made successful starts and seem sure to improve also.

  1. WHISTLEJACKET (IRE)
  2. ARIZONA BLAZE
  3. MORNING VIETNAM
