Shampagne led over 2f, close up until led again 2f out, soon ridden and stayed on strongly final furlong
Salsa Star took keen hold early, tracked leaders, headway 2f out, chased winner well over 1f out, ridden and edged left entering final furlong, kept on same pace
River Rye tracked leaders, effort 2f out, ridden over 1f out and soon no impression
Go Nani Go pulled hard, close up until led over 3f out, ridden and headed 2f out, soon beaten and eased final furlong
Salsa Star, the only newcomer in the line up, ran a solid enough race on her debut. She was a bit keen, but raced in touch, and though she challenged wide early in the straight, the winner proved too strong. She should have no trouble in winning a race.
latter, who had won on his Musselburgh debut, was far too keen this time, and though he settled in front at halfway, he had done too much too soon and dropped right out and was eased in the last two furlongs. He will be better with more cover, and this may prove just a minor blip.
