ANALYSIS:
Few with an obvious chance on recent form, and the first two had the
race between them virtually from the start.
RISK FREE, one of the best treated on BHB ratings, had won
only on the all-weather previously but handled conditions well and
had no problem with stepping up in trip by a furlong, though it was
his early speed that proved the most potent weapon here.
Summer Shades, all the better for a recent all-weather
pipe-opener, had shown last year that she has the tactical speed to
win overthis course and distance, and she disputed the lead with the
winner throughout, just losing out.
Plutocrat ran a fine race considering he lost considerable
ground through a slow start. He stayed on well through the field in
the straight to be nearest at the finish. This was his best effort
on turf since he came over from Dubai and, as he was one of the
worst-in on BHB figures, it suggests he may be on a winning mark at
present.
Efidium could not defy an unfavourably high draw, though the
way he stayed on to take fourth on the outside suggests he is still
in form, while Forest Prize was another to stay on strongly
after a slow start, although she has proved unreliable in the past
and it would be unsafe to regard this as a definite sign of a return
to form.
Smith N Allan Oils ran his best race of the year and was also
slightly hampered close home, while the well-backed Tantric
ran as well as could be expected in face of a stiff task at the
weights.
The jockeys on Beauteous and Rileys Dream both
reported that their saddles slipped.
