Analyis of the race

Not a particularly competitive maiden and the gallop was modest. CRYSTAL CAPELLA had the best credentials, and though she was quite keen early, she won well enough, travelling up well to lead over four out and then being ridden clear inside the finaltwo furlongs. She'll face stiffer tasks in the future.

Herrera ran on to take second, shaping well enough to suggest there is a small race in her, while Maha Dubai was held up and proved one-paced in the straight. She didn't look entirely at home on the ground.

Josephine Malines has a mark of 73, but she disappointed in handicaps last season and probably flatters here. She wouldn't be the best guide to the form, for she showed no particular promise on her debut for her present connections.
