Analyis of the race

Some tricky old customers who know more about the game than most, so no surprise there was something of a bunched finish - run the race again, the result would undoubtedly be different.

ARFINNIT, who was third 26 hours earlier in a similar race, had the visor taken off and replaced by cheekpieces - it worked the oracle, as he broke well and battled on more gamely than his rivals.

Rocker continues to frustrate, never threatening to get to the winner while edging closer.

Fastrac Boy did not blaze away as they usually do at this trip here and gamely held third, although some behind did not get the clearest runs.

Night Prospector got stuck behind him and had nowhere to go in the last 150 yards while still looking to have a little left.

Spic 'N Span missed the break and had too much to do, but when switched wider midtrack to get daylight he stayed on takingly to suggest he might yet win a race.

Racing Stripes was disappointing after a promising effort over this trip here last time but he got upset in the stalls and was not well away.

Vlasta Weiner lost all chance at the start with his rider reporting that the gelding reared as the stalls opened.
