Analyis of the race

This race was delayed some ten minutes after Pantherii played up, injuring Richard Quinn after throwing him. His replacement, Nelson De Sousa, had to sit tight initially as the tail-swishing filly continued to play up before being taken riderless on course and then behaving herself to the start.

Irish import PRINCESS ROSE ANNE was a game winner, just holding on after showing good all-round speed. She spun wide off the home bend to come home up the middle of the track and took a couple of lengths out of her rivals into the final furlong before clinging on to suggest this is as far as she wants to go.

Rosie Says No battled on gamely widest out but she is only modest and is struggling off her mark in the 60s.

Requisite tiedup late which was disappointing for a 6f winner and, on this evidence, a drop back to the minimum might help but she is another struggling against the handicapper.
