FELIX TO LAND DUAL DISTANCE FINAL AT SHEFFIELD
Kevin Ferguson’s Acomb Felix overcame a moderate start in his sprint heat over 280m at Sheffield last week to eventually come through for a comfortable 2 1/2 length success in 1609 (+10). He can storm into an early lead in this afternoon’s final over 480m and though likely to come back to the field in the latter stages can have enough in hand to hang on.
