ANALYSIS: A big field for this very ordinary handicap and not too many had realistic chances on the book, but it resulted in a blanket finish with the bare form being held down by fifth home Zafarshah, who had been running in claimers.
SAXON LIL, one of only two three-year-olds in the line up, did very well to score under her massive weight. She was completing a four-timer, and as she only ever seems to just win, the handicapper may not quite have got hold of her yet, even though she has gone up 23lb in thelast couple of months.
Logistical had been running on the all-weather and his rating suggests he is only a banded race class horse.
Iced Diamond is another who seems to save his best for the sand, as he does not seem as good on turf despitehaving a lower rating.
Oh Boy did best of the quintet who raced on the far side and there might be a little race in him, especially as he has dropped to a reasonable mark.
Zafarshah seemed to run his race, but the handicapper just about hashis measure at present.
