Analyis of the race

Another strong early pace, but a noticeably slower time than the previous handicap, suggesting this was an ordinary maiden, as did the form of the lesser placed horses.

KATIMONT impressed in always travelling well, chasing the pace, on quicker ground than she had encountered in two soft-ground races last backend.

She won a shade more comfortably than the bare margin, as she had the race won into the final furlong, showing plenty of speed, although she has winning relatives over middle distances.

Mekong Melody, dropping in trip on drying ground, was just done for toe halfway up the straight and had to switch before staying on strongly to close down the winner late. She was entitled to need her first race last time over 10f when weakening,and a longer trip on this sort of ground looks like suiting now that she is eligible for handicaps.

The extra furlong suited Where's Susie, who stepped up considerably on her 7f form from last season on this comeback run. She is another eligible for handicaps.
