Comments in running

Osiris Way chased leaders until went 2nd 4f out, ridden 2f out, led just inside final furlong, stayed on well

Playful steadied start, held up behind, headway halfway, ridden 2f out, chased leaders and hung left inside final furlong, ran on to go 2nd toward finish, not reach winner

Crimson Fern unseated rider before start and galloped loose to start, held up in midfield, headway on inner 2f out, chased winner inside final furlong, kept on same pace and lost 2nd towards finish

Pretty Miss soon led, ridden 2f out, headed just inside final furlong, faded last 100yds

Pic Up Sticks slowly into stride, behind and soon ridden along, headway under pressure 2f out, kept on same pace final furlong

Even Bolder steadied after start, held up in midfield, ridden and effort 2f out, kept on but never pace to threaten leaders

Cape Royal prominent, every chance well over 1f out, weakening when slightly hampered inside final furlong

Bluebok raced in midfield, ridden and struggling 3f out

Woodcote awkward start, soon chasing leader until 4f out, ridden 2f out, soon weakened

Spanish Ace always towards rear, ridden 3f out, never troubled leaders

Malapropism soon bustled along in rear, never dangerous




Analyis of the race

A typical sprint handicap run in a heavy rainstorm and featuring some old friends, but it was delayed by Crimson Fern getting rid of her rider in front of the stands on the way to the start. Taking that into consideration, she did well to finish where she did in the circumstances and, if her temperamental tendencies can be curbed, there are probably more races in her.

OSIRIS WAY had not run for over six months, but that did not stop him winning. He raced off a career-high mark and is bound to go up again so things will be more difficult in future.

Pretty Miss is well-exposed as nothing out of the ordinary.

Pic Up Sticks has been a grand servant, but is not getting any better at the age of nine.

Even Bolder, having his first outing for his new trainer, did not run too badly on his comeback, but is hardly a regular winner.
