A Sea Commander chased leader, led 4th, driven out flat
Mycenean Prince led to 4th, chased winner, ridden and hung right to stands' rail flat, kept on
Arctic Cove held up towards rear, headway under pressure approaching 4 out, hard ridden approaching last, kept on flat
Shire took keen hold towards rear, headway after 8th, ridden approaching last, weakened flat
Inn For The Dancer held up in mid-division, ridden 8th, soon behind
Lanos held up in touch, ridden approaching 4 out, weakening when blundered 3 out
Superfling held up in mid-division, mistake 7th, ridden approaching 4 out, behind when hampered 3 out
Val Du Ciron held up towards rear, short-lived effort after 8th, behind when pulled up and dismounted before 2 out
Busy Man took keen hold, hit 2nd, headway 3rd, weakened after 8th, behind when pulled up before 3 out
The winner had gone 19 races until this success and connections willdo well to find a weaker race outside of selling company in future.
Mycenean Prince's ride got into a bit of a muddle on the run-in as his mount was hanging right, but once straightened he stayed on well and would have won in another 50 yards or so. He is also a long-standing maiden, but there might be a poor heat in him if he repeats this run.
Shire was trying chasing for the first time after three hurdles outings, but will have to step up on what he showed here if he is to win.
