Michael Hills rode a strong race on the gambled on Prime Defender(5/2) to get home by a short head, to beat the very strong finishing Tobosa (3/1).

Newbury based traner Hughie Morrison sent out Sakhee's Secret (9/4 Fav) to absolutely crush the opposition in the 6 furlong Voute Sales Handicap in the last race on the Newmarket card today.
Sakhee's Secret will not be running in a handicap again I should think. If so, the horse will have to carry a truck on it's back, because the handicapper will not be lenient with it after a performance like this first time in a handicap.
Pat Cosgrave rode Aahayson (10/1) a distant 5 lengths behind in second. Amy Baker was 3rd on Imprimis Tagula (25/1), Si Foo (10/1) came in 4th for each way backers in this 18 runner 6f cavalry charge.
