Analyis of the race

A muddling race with a dash from the stalls led by Dawson Creek before a midrace lull that saw SIENA STAR gifted the lead and he gamely saw off allcomers through the final 2f. This trip has proved the veteran's most winning one and as he stays further, the race fell into his lap. He clung on under a strong challenge throughout the final furlong from Kings Topic, who looked sure to get past as he ranged alongside a furlong out.

Kings Topic, another veteran, has returned in top form and, while not getting past his elder, he pulled clear of the rest and looks ready to add another career win.

Dawson Creek again found this trip beyond him, first under pressure into the home turn, failing to run to his good form over 7f-1m here.
