WHATCANYASAY gradually worked his way into it and ran on strongly after the last to get up close home. This was his third win on the track, off his highest ever mark. He's on the upgrade, though, admittedly at a modest level. He does go well on good/fast ground. With just over five lengths covering the first five home, the form is not that strong.
Sands Rising has gained all his wins on soft ground, so this was a fair effort on these faster conditions.
Categorical was staying on and would have been closer had his saddle not slipped after the last.
