Saucy Brown slowly into stride, soon prominent, ridden to lead inside final furlong, ran on well
Aakef chased leader, led 3f out, ridden over 1f out, edged left and headed insde final furlong, stayed on same pace
Thunderous Mood led, headed 3f out, ridden and every chance inside final furlong, stayed on
Party Cat held up, ridden over 1f out, hung left and ran on inside final furlong, not reach leaders
Grand Stitch always prominent, shaken up over 1f out, stayed on
Love You Louis went left start, chased leaders, ridden over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong
Rocket Ruby soon pushed along in rear, headway halfway, weakened over 1f out
Clerical slowly into stride, outpaced
Aakef just missed a beat at the start but was soon tracking the leader and was eased into the lead over three furlongs out. He couldn't muster the pace of the winner inside the final furlong but his rider wasn't hard on him and he kept on well in the closing stages. He should learn a lot from this and lose his maiden tag.
Party Cat, stablemate of the winner, was soon chasing and kept on well in the closing stages. He will improve and gave the impression that a step up to 6f wouldn't come amiss.
Grand Stitch was always chasing and ran a reasonable race and can improve and Clerical ran well enough to suggest that something can be found for him.
