Analyis of the race

An apprentices handicap that was modest but fairly open.

DANZILI BAY had been much better than this two years ago but a succession of problems have kept him to just four outings since. However, he has been rejuvenated by his new trainer, albeit off a much lower mark, and there might be a bit more to come as this win could act as a nice confidence booster.

Charlie Delta had landed a lady riders' handicap over course and distance last time, so he ran his race again.

Witchry lost his prominent early position but plugged on again. He is not too badly treated in this sort of company so may be found another chance.
