Comments in running

Iguazu Falls took keen hold, chased leader after 2f, led over 2f out, shaken up and soon clear, ran on strongly

Fathsta switched left start, pulled hard and held up in midfield, ridden to chase winner well over 1f out, no impression on winner

Croi Mo Ri took keen hold, held up in midfield, effort and ridden 3f out, hung left and no progress 2f out, went 3rd towards finish

Dream Day led for 1f, chased leaders after, ridden and effort on inner 3f out, weakened well over 1f out

Film Maker took keen hold, led after 1f, ridden and headed over 2f out, soon outpaced by winner, weakened final furlong

Nice Wee Girl never going well in last pair, ridden and hanging left 3f out, never on terms

Nacho Libre slowly into stride, always behind




Analyis of the race

This tends to be an ordinary Listed race, and although IGUAZU FALLS proved different class in a depleted field, his connections were not getting carried away. Dropped back a furlong after two placings behind Redolent over 1m, he was soon nicely placed behind leader Film Maker and the race was over almost as soon as Frankie Dettori asked him for his effort. He was in no danger through the last two furlongs and was value for a bit more than the winning margin, but while the Jersey Stakes is a possibility, there ought to be one or two better there.

Fathsta is astonishingly tough, because this was his 25th race in little more than a year. Dropped in behind from his outside draw, he was inclined to run too keen and could have done with a faster pace, although his form did not entitle him to do any better than second in any case.

Nice Wee Girl never got into it and looked uncomfortable down the hill. Nacho Libre was always at the back of the field too. (GD)
