Analyis of the race

It looked like being a steering job for O'Brien when DON'T ASK ME dashed to the front approaching three out and quickly opened a big lead. He was still six lengths to the good at the final flight, but started to slow on the run-in and, in the end, the post only just came in time to stop it getting too interesting.

More Likely was the one who gave favourite backers a scare. She seemed well held two out, but Costello stuck to his task and kept working away and the mare responded well to close the gap on the run-in, but was never getting there quickly enough.

In Dream's was a bit disappointing. He was well there four out when four were in a line, but went out like a light and finished a distant fourth.
