ANALYSIS:

A low-grade, but competitive handicap, run at a good pace throughout. It is crucial to BALLYHURRY to have a strongly-run event and, although he struggled to get a run at one stage, he finished fast and late to take the spoils to gain his third win onthis course this season. He remains in tremendous heart.
What-A-Dancer was produced to win his race, but was worried out of it late on by the winner. He is a hard horse to win with these days, but is prefectly capable of landing something similarwhen things drop his way.
Xsynna, twice a winner on the sand, and ridden here by an inexperienced apprentices, ran a blinder, considering he raced a little wide most of the way.
Cashneem stayed on well to be nearest at the finish to run creditably from his wide draw, and might be coming to hand. Baileborough, ridden from well off the pace, ran a creditable race, but Ajwaa met trouble in running. Beauteous adopted his usual tactics, but was swamped late on. Of the others, Rose OfAmerica met trouble in running, but for which, she would certainly have finished closer; she looks to be coming to hand.
