A really good turnout, led by multiple Group-1 winner Fascinating Rock and Derby runner-up Us Army Ranger, but neither were at their best, possibly being brought along with bigger targets ahead, but that should not detract from the performance of Success Days who was allowed an easy time in front and was never for catching.
