CASIMIR JITTERBUG and AWESOMENESS (WO25000) waged a ding dong battle on the front end in latest as others salivated and both seem capable of victories with better trips.

MAJOR PEPPER (NW1) brushed to command as the speed settled, set a pressed pace, won as the prohibitive favorite and should be able to take another.
