Starcraft satisfies in Southwell spin

STARCRAFT put himself on course for a tilt at the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday week by pleasing trainer Luca Cumani with a workout on the all-weather at Southwell.

The five-year-old galloped round the bends on the fibresand surface under Cumani’s assistant Guillermo Arizkorreta with three stable companions.

The Prix du Moulin winner was settled at the back of the group in the seven-furlong gallop before making smooth headway down the home straight to easily take up the running with a furlong left to run.
