Supercede continues Elliott’s purple patch
Fresh from his Ebor victory with Dirar and on the eve of his latest assault on Perth, Elliott saddled the eight-year-old to record his third win from four starts since arriving in his Capranny Stables from Joe Murphy’s and, in doing so, defying a 13lb. rise in the ratings on the back of a fluent success in Tramore last Sunday.
Held up in rear, Supercede made relentless progress on the final circuit, helped by some spectacular jumping, and cruised through on the inside to lead approaching the straight before stretching clear to slam Westmeath Bachelor by twelve lengths.
