Late Summer charge is enough to land Godolphin Mile spoils

Second Summer came from the clouds to give Doug Watson victory in the Godolphin Mile at Meydan.Sharp Azteca appeared to have stolen the spoils under Edgard Zayas when he had a clear advantage with a furlong to run in the Group Two event, but he was treading water in the closing stages.Pat Dobbs sensed an opportunity on Second Summer and along with the German challenger Ross, they were catching Sharp Azteca with every stride.It was Second Summer who prevailed, with Sharp Azteca fading into third.The favourite North America was in trouble from some way out and finished well beaten.Watson said: "When I saw him coming, I knew he would finish well."I knew he had the class to do that but I wasn't sure if a mile would be too sharp for him."The speed was huge, though, and that suited him."We had been aiming at the World Cup, but when we heard Arrogate was coming and he was beaten in another race here, we took it easy and aimed for this."
