Analyis of the race

A wide-open affair, but run at a steady pace. It paid to be handy, and KANSAS GOLD was always on the heels of pacesetting Abbondanza. That left him ideally positioned to kick in the straight, and he was always doing just enough on the run to the lineto hold the pack at bay, in the process reversing last week's course-and- distance placings with Emily's Place and Our Kes.

Emily's Place, who bounced back to form here a week ago, ran another fine race but has yet to break her duck after ten starts on the all-weather.

Abbondanza, who met all sorts of trouble on his all-weather debut here a week ago after being held up, was allowed a soft lead on this occasion and did not give up without a fight, but he may prove best when able to get a lead from a more confirmed front-runner.
