Analyis of the race

A competitive race with the drop to this grade working the oracle for MAJESTICAL, who has won off a mark in the 60s but is not straightforward. He was mounted on the course and connections reported he has to be brought wide to challenge - hence theirdisappointment at getting trap 2 here. His steady run down the outside was always going to prevail through the final furlong after Punching had got first run up the inside. He has been unlucky in running and with his foible he will always need things to fall his way.

Scarlett Heart was staying on when it was all over on his first run for new connections. She has won over 5f but on her last two runs, she looks to find this 6f a bare minimum these days.

Marko Jadeo had a leading chance at the weights but this veteran is going to be difficult to place on this showing, clearly not up to winning an open handicap.
