Comments in running

Winsley Hill jumped left, held up in touch, mistake 2nd, led soon after 2 out, driven out

Orphina held up in mid-division, headway 3 out, ran on flat

Dabaratsa held up in rear, lost touch 5th, good headway and squeezed through approaching last, shaken up flat, finished well, too much to do

Day´s Over held up in mid-division, headway 4th, weakened flat

Figurita held up in touch, ridden 3 out, one pace from 2 out

Over Ice took keen hold, chased leader, led 3 out until soon after 2 out, soon hard ridden, weakened last

Still Dreaming towards rear, ridden approaching 3 out, hit 2 out, never troubled leaders

Midnight Ruby never better than mid-division

Roaming West took keen hold in rear, not fluent 2nd, headway approaching 3 out, weakened 2 out

Between Dreams led to 3 out, soon ridden, weakened after 2 out

Troublesome Gerri always towards rear, tailed off from 5th

Tagula Song pulled hard towards rear, tailed off 3 out, pulled up before last




Analyis of the race

No surprises that the ground was on the fast side and a bit quicker in places on the chase course. A modest race and a major chance for WINSLEY HILL, who was the pick of these on what she had shown in the past. She held on well after taking up the running and won as she was entitled to. She clearly handles this fast surface so there is every chance she will be kept on the go.

Orphina had something to find with the winner on ratings, so it would be no great surprise if her connections elected to run her again quickly to try to take advantage.

Day's Over was much better suited by this ground than the soft she encountered last time but she is definitely not one of her stable's leading lights.
