Zawara, trained for the Aga Khan by Dermot Weld, landed the five-runner Thomastown Race in glorious sunshine in Gowran Park, holding the late surge of Eaglefield.

Dropping back in trip, having attempted a mile and six in the ‘Vintage Tipple’ on this track early last month, the four-year-old daughter of Dubawi mastered front-running favourite Cormorant with two furlongs to race and looked set for a comfortable win.
