Bwana had finished second to Beach Belle (who I rate group class) in the first Irish two-year-old race of the season and followed up with a big performance of his own here. He had the advantage of making the running at a comfortable pace on the rail for the first couple of furlongs but then picked up well to run the last three furlongs 2.1 seconds faster than they managed in the listed race for older horses over six furlongs.

Bwana kept running strongly to repel clearly smart rivals in second and third as the trio quickly ran away from the rest through the last furlong.
