Star Gate ran out an impressive winner of his four-year-old maiden at Bellharbour on his only start to date. Ridden by Rob James the son of Imperial Monarch was always on the pace and made good headway over the last mile of the contest. The four-year-old demonstrated a nice turn of foot when increasing the tempo of the race on the run to the penultimate fence, showing a very likeable attitude, which saw him gain the upper hand over long-time leader Sambezi. He is probably value for more than the winning margin suggests here as he lost momentum when slowing into the final fence when he appeared to have his race in safe-keeping. The Colin Bowe-trained gelding is a €20,000 Tattersalls May sales recruit, that highlighted himself as a very exciting sort and could develop into a smart type on the track that could have a lot to offer to new connections.
