Having recorded a first career victory at Kempton a fortnight ago, BABAJAN made the long trip to Newcastle worthwhile taking another step forwards to add another victory to his CV.
Despite the race being a tactical affair with just four runners, and having to make the running which wasn't ideal, he won in good style in the first time blinkers for Amo Racing and Rossa Ryan. Having looked to idle when faced with a challenge inside the final furlong a quick cajole from Rossa saw his put the race to bed in a matter of strides and win going away by a cosy 3/4 length. He is improving all the time and looks to have a promising season ahead of him - he will also appreciate a step up in trip as he matures.
