What happened in the Commonwealth Cup last year?
Time For Sandals for Harry Eustace provided a surprise when landing the contest in a close finish from Arizona Blaze. The daughter of Sands Of Mali was landing her first success since her maiden win a year previous. Breaking from stall one, she was streets clear of the rest of her rivals on her side. All her challengers amassed on the near side, but she dug in gamely to become the fourth filly to win the race since its inception in 2015. The 6-4 favourite Shadow Of Light finished fifth, the highest-placed horse under 20-1.
