Analyis of the race

This was an interesting handicap for three-year-olds featuring a host of potentially useful but unexposed sorts and though it's sure to throw up plenty of winners, the form may not prove totally reliable in view of the soft ground. PERKS improved markedly on the form he had shown as a juvenile, and racing up the middle, quickened in fine style to draw clear in the final furlong. He is much better than his current mark and should continue to improve.

Silver Rime, who also raced up the middle, travelled strongly and kept on for second. He'll win again, as will Pinkindie, who ran on from off the pace to take third without getting to the leaders.

Dubai Petal ran on steadily to be nearest at the finish, and left the impression she'll do better. Collection was quite keen early and didn't get home in the ground. He remains an interesting sort in handicaps. Doon Haymer made the running but dropped right away, while Boy Blue was another to race keenly early on.
