Analyis of the race

An impressive success for race-fit PERCOLATOR, who was value for more than double the distance as she cleared away up the straight and was reined in in the last strides, having only been pushed out hands and heels. She again showed good early speed to overcome her wide draw but hung left to end in the middle of the track. If it had not been for that, thoughts might turn to Chester but she should put her speed to good use on other sharp tracks.

Lois Darlin, well behind the winner last time after a slow start, showed the benefit of that experience and another furlong will aid her cause in time.

Missy Que showed speed and cornered well before getting tired to post a promising racecourse debut.
