Analyis of the race

This was a modest affair in which MUSIC CELEBRE answered a stamina question in the affirmative as he forced into a decisive lead early in the straight. The impeccably-bred gelding was following a success in a novice seller, having made the frame in abetter-class event on his previous start.

Denise's Dip is showing better form on the quicker ground and posted another solid run which suggests he can pick-up a seller.

Relative Hero looked to have a tough task but on his second run back from a break found the kind of form which had seen him involved in a number of seeling handicaps.

Cavalry Twill proved a disappointing favourite on a drop in grade for new connections. He looked dangerous turning for home but the move flattered only to deceive.

Night Groove was running a big race in second when falling at the last.
