Part Time was about fourth moet of the way and improved to follow Forshy into the straight, with Misty Haze, Filet Mignon, Gay Robin and St. Nazaire prominent. Forshy was soon in trouble and Part Time took over. He fought on strongly to win by half a length. Filet Mignon tangled slightly *t the start and showed speed to hold second from Gay Robin, which looked most unlucky. GayRobin was badly checked at the start and showed tremendous speed to take third only a neck behind Filet Mignon. Misty Hase paced a sound race for fourth, shading Forshy. with St Nazaire close up, clear of Garry Kent and Aufleem TOO SOLID Oakleigh Lad. which broke for a few strides at the start, was too solid afterwards for his rivals in the Leith Handicap. which he won most convincingly.

Snap On was promoted to second. Rebel to third and Oo Brigade to fourth. SIRRAH’S WIN Sirrah, which broke badly and finished well back on Saturday, made amends with a narrow win in the Kew Handicap.
