Analyis of the race

The feature of this race was the thrilling duel between BULL MARKET and Suits Me, with the former getting back on top in a bobbing finish. Produced to win his race at the 2f pole, he was headed inside the last, but fought back gallantly to lead in the dying strides. He is plainly in excellent nick.

Suits Me, who goes particularly well on easier ground, went down all guns blazing in second. He appears to have taken time to come to himself this season, but there was plenty to like about this performance. The first two came clear of the rest, headed by Dar Es Salaam, who, nevertheless, shaped pleasingly in third.
