Mazaaya chased leaders until went 2nd over 6f out, hard ridden well over 1f out, kept on under pressure but looked held until lead towards finish
Sheer Bluff took keen hold, led, ridden and held high awkwardly over 1f out, looked winner until hung left and headed towards finish
Winter Bloom took keen hold, held up in touch, ridden to chase leaders over 2f out, kept on same pace under pressure final furlong
Martyr held up in touch, edged left 6f out, reminders and lost place over over 5f out, ridden and headway on outer 4f out, chased leaders over 1f out, kept on but never able to challenge
Legislation took keen hold, held up towards rear, hampered and clipped heels over 6f out, ridden and headway on outer over 3f out, hard driven 2f out, keeping on same pace when hung left inside final furlong
Haydens Mark took keen hold, chased leader until over 6f out, stayed chasing leaders, ridden over 2f out, weakened inside final furlong
Benedict Spirit took keen hold, held up well in touch, ridden over 2f out, weakened inside final furlong
Vettorenjoy went right and steadied start, held up in rear, ridden and effort over 2f out, never troubled leaders
Agente Romano held up towards rear on inner, ridden 4f out, no impression last 2f
Malibu Girl steadied start, took keen hold, held up in rear, never dangerous
Sheer Bluff ran well on his handicap bow and only blemish came at the death. He had made the running at a good pace and still held the call inside the final furlong but hung left on the rails in the closing stages and threw away a winning chance. He will go up for this effort but clearly has the ability to win a race or two.
Martyr came under pressure six furlongs out but responded to a wake-up call but was found wanting in the final furlong. He will improve for this first run in over two months and there are more race to be won with him.
Legislation seemed to stumbled after about three furlong and was held up but nevermade that much of an impression on his step up in trip. Haydens Mark was soon chasing the leaders but faded in the closing stages and is probably too high.
