Early expectations of a close fought feature in Sweden<\/st1:country-region><\/st1:place> this week were put aside as Coldstone<\/B> demolished her opponents in the Camlaw Stakes – G2<\/I>. After a top ride just off the pace, jockey M. Mason<\/I> made a bold move entering the straight, quickly put three lengths on the opposition, and the result of the race was then beyond doubt.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Yamazakura<\/B> made the most of the inside gate, jumping brilliantly and controlling the race from the outset. Leave the Pieces<\/B> was also smartly away from three, and sat outside the leader, with Awesome Cuchi<\/B> moving across from her wide gate to form a line of three. Several riders wanted position themselves close to the pace, and as a result Symreality<\/B> and Growling<\/B> were virtually beaten on the first turn, as they were caught four and five wide. Superstar Eight<\/B>, Tailor Made<\/B> and Coldstone<\/B> gained better positions in that line of five. Rudere<\/B>, inside from Never Say Goodbye<\/B> and Slithering<\/B> made up the third distinct grouping. Mixed Up Contender<\/B> found herself four wide early, while Aptitude Problem<\/B> and How Apt<\/B> were content to drop out in the initial stages<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

The order remained largely unchanged until the bottom turn when riders began to make their moves. Coldstone<\/B> quickly hauled in Awesome Cuchi <\/B>and Leave the Pieces<\/B> who had had enough, then set out after Yamazakura<\/B>. Tailor Made<\/B> was trying to go with her, while Growling<\/B>, despite her torrid run, was still showing fight. From further back, Never Say Goodbye <\/B>and Slithering <\/B>were moving into the picture stylishly, Mixed Up Contender<\/B> was making a bit of ground from way back, and Awesome Cuchi<\/B> was still giving all she had. <\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Into the straight and the only questions surrounded the minor placings. Coldstone<\/B>, in a few very big bounds, had set up a three length break, and as nothing was issuing a serious challenge, M.Mason<\/I> eased her approaching the wire to record a most decisive two and a quarter length victory.<\/P>

Slithering<\/B> had made up significant ground in the run home and worked home a clear second, clearly recording the fastest final sectional, and standing herself in good stead for the future.<\/P>

Yamazakura <\/B>held on gamely for third, never surrendering despite being headed a long way from home. <\/P>

Never Say Goodbye<\/B> boxed on valiantly without ever threatening.<\/P>

Tailor Made <\/B>was disappointing. Having enjoyed a good run, she failed to live up to her previous form. Despite this being her worst ever effort, she still covered expenses with the minor cheque. <\/P>

Mixed Up Contender<\/B> passed several runners in the latter stages <\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

Awesome Cuchi<\/B> showed heart, only yielding over the final section of the race.<\/P>

Growling <\/B>and Symreality<\/B> couldn\u2019t maintain momentum after being caught wide early.<\/P>

Leave the Pieces<\/B> used too much fuel early.<\/P>

Rudere, How Apt<\/B> and Superstar Eight<\/B> never featured at any stage of the race.<\/P>

The trainer had five to the races this week for two winners, the other being Two for Two <\/B>at the other end of the spectrum, winning a 2k starter allowance.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
