RAMAAD had shaped well on both his previous starts, and after racing in touch, he quickened to lead inside the last furlong and ran on well. As he was narrowly beaten by a 79 horse on his previous start, the handicapper is unlikely to take many chances with him, and as he's not a three-year-old with a great deal of scope, he'll find life much tougher from now on.
Tableau Vivant didn't get the run of the race. Off the bridle turning for home, she came back on it in the straight, but had to be switched to get a run. By that stage the winner had gone, and she could only keep on to take second, well clear of the rest. She didn't look entirely happy on the ground, and she'll find a modest event, perhaps over further.
The one to take from the race is the newcomer Hydrophonic, who came from well off the pace to finish fourth, clear of the others. However, none of those behind him had shown much, so its hard to know quite what he achieved.
