No doubts about Second Thought's Spring Cup victory

Second Thought made it three wins from four all-weather outings as he lifted the Listed 32Red Spring Cup at Lingfield.Already successful for William Haggas at Wolverhampton in December and Kempton in January, Second Thought was sent off the 13-8 favourite to add another victory to his CV in this seven-furlong affair.Second Thought finished with a flourish in the hands of Robert Winston to see off Sutter County, who had finished behind him last time, by three-quarters of a length.The Kodiac colt was already qualified for the£150,000 32Red Three-Year-Old Final on Good Friday through his Kempton win and despite landing another Fast-Track Qualifier here, the Haggas team are not entirely convinced that six-furlong test will suit. Harry Eustace, assistant trainer to Haggas, said: "Robert said that they steadied up and kicked down the hill, which got Second Thought at it a little bit before he came back on the bridle. He had a bit of ground to make up on Sutter County again and their form seems to be holding up. "We will let William decide whether he comes back for Good Friday and see how he comes out of this race."We think he probably has the class to do it, but there might be other targets for him later in the year. For the prize money, it might be worth dropping back to six furlongs and having a crack at it."Second Thought seemed to relax really well and, as long as he does that, I think that he will stretch out to a mile. I would say fast ground on turf will suit him, so he could be a really fun horse to have during the summer."Winston added: "Second Thought was off the bridle coming down the hill and was only getting on top of things late on."Six furlongs might be a bit sharp for him on Good Friday, but I think that he will still come out on top in a strongly-run race."Once you get serious with him, he responds well, and he is more than likely to get a mile. He is a lightly-raced horse and very progressive."He has the right attitude and is very professional - once I gave him a couple of smacks, he went and did his job."
