REROUTED and Anaerobia finished third in respective handicaps staged at Meydan on Thursday night, but the other Mike de Kock runners could not make the frame, finishing downfield.

Mike commented: “The runners that had to traevel from South Africa, Final Button, Mushreq and Amanee, all needed their runs more than we expected. They all looked very well, but carried too much condition and clearly were ring-rusty.

“There are no concerns though, they will all make big improvement with their first outings now under the belt.”
