Analyis of the race

SLIP, who had been fourth behind Oaks winner Look Here and Derby fourth Doctor Fremantle here last October, had seemingly got in off a very attractive mark of just 65 taking that into account. That proved to be spot-on as the unexposed three-year-oldwon very comfortably, eased down in the closing stages. Connections have two weeks before he can be reassessed and are sure to do their best to find another opportunity like this as he escapes a penalty and is certain to be raised significantly.

Silca Destination is finding things harder since her two wins on the sand earlier this year.

Lady Jinks was running from out of the handicap and stayed on pretty well in the closing stages, but she was beaten in a seller last time.
