Analyis of the race

The jockeys reported the ground was just a little slower than good after strong winds had buffeted the course throughout the day and, in what was little more than a seller, DRAGON FLAME was able to notch a first success at the age of five. He has hasproblems with chips in his knees but was always handy towards the far side and never looked in danger after striking the front over a furlong out. He showed his best form early on last season before his ailments started playing him up and he could find another little race like this early on.

Maggie Kate has been running consistently on the all-weather over the winter and ran well here as she came through to lead 2f out until headed by the winner. There appears little wrong with her attitude and she could well make a winning return to this venue in due course.

Jaconet appears to have an elevated rating and just plugged on, giving the impression the trip was too sharp, and Princess Charlmane had led until two furlongs out and her proximity, being only rated 41, says it all.Magical Speedfit showed little enthusiasm in first-time blinkers and Hurricane Harriet attracted some support, but she looked very limited.

Tugalu is another who is displaying regressive form.
