Resonate proves market right as she claims bet365 Hunt Cup win

RESONATE took first bend command on her way to an authoritative success in the £10,000 final of the Category One bet365 Hunt Cup over 650m at Oxford.

The first battle she won was for favouritism as, having lost that position to heat conqueror Powerhouse Duke during the week, she was backed in from 5/2 to head the betting at 2/1 at the off.

The Other Winx was first to show when traps opened but just failed to clear fast-up duo Powerhouse Duke and Java Joan at the bend whereas Resonate enjoyed a clear run out wide and swept in to the lead.

The race was basically over as a contest at that point and Resonate, whom Hutton owns as well as trains, galloped on powerfully to beat staying on outsider Remember Betty by over two lengths in 39.64sec (-30) with long-time second Java Joan a neck away in third.
