Analyis of the race

The first five finished clear in this 61-75 handicap in which PEE JAY'S DREAM followed up his good run at Doncaster last week. Sticking on well, he got on top inside the final furlong and now heads for a race at Perth next week.

Maneki Neko is well handicapped on his old form, but after hitting the front over a furlong out, he was worried out of it in the closing stages. Although not the easiest to win with, this was an encouraging return to the Flat, particularly as he'd been off for over four months.

Fourth went to Pretty Demanding who shaped well on her return to action, and even though she's 11lb higher than her last win, she left the impression she's capable of scoring off this sort of mark.

Hill Billy Rock is steadily finding his form and he was a encouraging fifth, the first five finishing clear of the rest who were headed by Coronado's Dream.
