ANALYSIS: Another
low-grade affair, worsened for formbook purposes by a slow pace
before a late sprint. This probably suited topweight KINGSCAPE,
who was also taking a drop in class and had been eased by the
handicapper. Connections reported he had disappointed in the past
and his head carriage has been called into question. His rider was
at pains to keep him covered up until late but he was always alert
to the steady pace tracking the front rank. He found enough out in
the open, getting the rails run as both Art Investor and
Danzare attacked wider, having also raced wider, notably the
latter, who took a keen hold early seeing daylight wider out.
Elopement showed she could have done with a stronger pace as she
was rattling home when it was all over. The handicapper has raised
her but she left the impression that given an end-to-end gallop she
can still defy him at this level.
Gigs Magic, who took a strong grip buried towards the back,
was also not seen to best effect but was still disappointing in
failing to pick up and land a blow in the sprint home.
