Analyis of the race

A low-grade handicap but a pulsating finish and NASSAR notched his first success at the 14th attempt. He was held up off the pace and hung left when coming through to deliver his challenge over a furlong out but kept on well close home. He had shown ability previously but this was probably his race.

Winning Show once again adopted his front-running tactics and but the 3lb he had been raised for a good effort at Brighton 18 days earlier was the difference between defeat and victory. He looked like prevailing a furlong out but the10lb he conceded to the winner was just too much.

Recalcitrant was prominent from the start and kept on well under pressure to suggest he can make his mark in this company and Shosolosa came wide around the outside and kept on well and he should have his say in this grade.
