Analyis of the race

This was just an ordinary race, but VINTAGE STEPS produced a pleasing display to make a winning debut. Never out of the first three, she looked a little green when first asked to go about her job, but she knuckled down nicely and won with a little bit to spare. She can probably improve further.

Woteva shaped nicely on her debut, picking-up well approaching the final furlong and ran on strongly to the line. She should win a race, and so should Favourite Girl, who was not favourably drawn and who compounded that position by darting to her left after the stalls opened. She did well to finish third and should have benefited from this experience.

Lucky Buddha showed pace, but tired in the final two furlongs.
