Analyis of the race

DVINSKY made the most of being gifted an easy and clear lead and nothing looked like catching this habitual front-runner after he responded to initial urgings to take the lead from ths railside draw. He remains a victim of his own consistency and this comfortable win will do his mark no good as a fully exposed 7yo.

Prince Of Delphi gave chase early enough but could not bridge what was a gap of fully three lengths into the home bend. He was always going to be second up the straight to add another placing but did nothing wrong. He is lightly raced and going the right way to suggest a win soon.
