Back To Back Wins For Masai

Having struggled since returning from an injury, Masai Moon benefitted from some generosity from the handicapper to win off a career low-mark of 59 at the beginning of March. To keep Masai in 0-60 company, he made a quick return at Southwell eight days later under a six pound penalty. Despite a slow start and a wide trip from stall ten, he always looked like he would hit the front and won by a length from Laughing Rock, who was third the time before. Masai will now be forced into Class 5 company and will probably head for a 0-70 over 6f in a couple of weeks time. He probably needs seven furlongs in better company but there are no suitable races on the fibresand so hopefully he can get away with a sprint trip for a third time.
