Step up to a mile proves just the trick for Bergamasco Bergamasco stepped up to a mile for the first time on his handicap debut and came home strongly off a strong pace to land the Bar One Racing ‘Guaranteed Overnight Prices’ Nursery. The Jack Davison-trained gelding, who showed promise in four maiden starts, had to wait for a gap between horses before quickening up inside the final furlong for James Ryan. The 7/1 chance kept on well to beat Dream Ticket by a length with Miami Sunshine was a further two and a half lengths back in third. Davison said, "He has (delivered up in trip), it is actually a very satisfying win because he's a horse that always worked well and he was probably ahead of himself mentally early in the season comparative to his frame, he's a big horse. "He knew his job too well early and then he was overracing in the early part of his race, when really he is probably a miler behind it all. "We changed tactics today - we just said to James to jump and do everything he could to ride him cold and get him to settle. "Thankfully, they went a nice gallop. It was a super ride from James, though. He is a 5lb claimer, but if Colin (Keane) rode that horse you would say it was a super ride. He is very talented. Full credit to him and the horse. "He's a big horse and I'd say he is on the improve. Hopefully, he will go on from this." Quotes by Michael Graham
