Peak-form sprinter can prove too hot for Southwell rivals

2.00 Southwell
1pt win at 5-2 generally

Beaten a nose by Kommander Kirkup over today’s course and distance last Wednesday, Scott Dixon’s front-running sprinter kept battling after being headed over a furlong out and was back in front just after the line.
