Analyis of the race

A very smooth performance from FAVOURITE GIRL, who justified the support with her first win although her supporters were made to suffer in the closing stages as the runner-up closed the gap rapidly in the final furlong. She had been in front from twoout and may have found this stiff 6f a test of her stamina.

Debutant Kyllachy Star turned in a real eye-catching run. He showed signs of inexperience early on but really got the hang of it in the closing stages and flew through the final furlong. He would have won with a little bit further to travel and will not be long opening his account.

Inheritor is another to take out of the race. Making his recourse bow, he was noted doing some sterling work in the closing stages and is sure to find a race in the near future with this experience under his belt.
