Analyis of the race

A selling hurdle, which took little winning, fell to the well-supported GRACIALINA, who, despite flattening the final flight, had enough in reserve to see off her rivals.

The winner had previously been beaten in a selling handicap, so whether shecan make her mark in a higher class than this remains to be seen.

Red O’Donnell, dropped in class, ran a respectable race and should be able to go one better in similar grade.

Kalatime, a long-standing maiden, had every chance, as did Colinette, who continues to look a little frustrating. The remainder were well beaten, and were led home by Scuzme, whose jumping left something to be desired.
