A drop back in trip worked the oracle for DANCING DIK, who went with the strong pace set by Shy and only had that rival to beat through the final two furlongs. He edged across him after taking his measure, but the further he went the better it became, and he was completely in charge in the last 50 yards.

The winner had eased a few pounds in the ratings, but looks to be getting his act together as he settles better into his races, although this looked a weak race for its rating band.

Shy, who looked to put in an improved effort last time, made a promising handicap debut, setting a brisk pace and keeping on gamely under her big weight.

Sabancaya plugged on for strong pressure up with the pace in the last two furlongs, and her proximity raises doubts about the strength of the form as she has been struggling of late.

World Time did not impress again with his attitude, but was plugging on late against the stands' rail without landing a blow or having the whip raised. He continues to shape as if further on a galloping track could bring yet more improvement.
