Star Choice in rear and soon driven along, never on terms

Dnata Flyer prominent, driven over 3f out, lost place over 2f out, eased




Analyis of the race

This was the slower of the two divisions, and though it was the weaker of the two, it was won in good style by THE OIL MAGNATE, who ran well on his sole start as a juvenile, but then bruised a foot and was put away. Travelling well, he was pushed clear in the final furlong to score in good style.

His future will be in the hands of the handicapper, but it's hard to know how this form will be treated because the runner-up Tactical Move had shown little last term. He improved here, though, to finish ahead of Adab, who was second of six in a Lingfield maiden on his only run last term. He raced keenly early on and had no chance with the winner.
