Talon held up on inside, driven over 3f out, soon beaten

College Land Boy chased leaders until weakened from 4f out

Ducal Damsel close up until lost place halfway, hung right and soon beaten




Analyis of the race

This may not turn out to be a particularly competitive maiden, but it was won in fine style by DRILL SERGEANT, who showed plenty of promise on his first two starts last season. Making all, he went clear three furlongs out and scored unchallenged. He's rated 86 and shapes as though he's a fair bit better than that.

Art Trend was noticeably easy to back, and though he raced in touch, he had no chance with the winner in the last three furlongs. He should improve for the run.

The rest were well beaten off.
