Analyis of the race

A handicap for three-year-olds run at a fair gallop went to LINDORO, who had been running mainly at sprint distances, his only previous outing at this trip being when he was well beaten behind Raven's Pass when facing a particularly stiff task in last season's Solario Stakes. In this grade he got the trip well. He was well drawn in four, raced in touch, and after being switched off the rails, he ran on in good style and ultimately scored a shade cosily. He may progress a little more.

La Chicaluna stepped up markedly on her reappearance effort, making much of the running and keeping on well. She had raced keenly when held up on her previous start, and the change in tactics helped her settle, and on this showing she is well capable of winning off her current mark.

Minus Fifteen ran much better than on his handicap debut, racing in touch and keeping on, Baunagain wasn't disgraced considering he was drawn out in stall 13, and Jonny Lesters Hair was also poorly drawn and faded after breaking well and showing up until the last 2f.
