Analyis of the race

An impressive performance from CANDELA BAY, who again showed she needs rattling fast ground to be seen to best effect. Bogged down on soft ground previously, she unleashed a withering run down the midtrack outside of the field after being settled at the back. The further she went the better it got and she was clear into the final 100yds. The proviso is that this fillies' handicap did not take much winning, lacking any strength in depth.

Ivory Silk remains a maiden but, under her big weight, she stayed on strongly in the final furlong for another placing, suggesting the relenting handicapper is finally giving her a chance as this looks her level.

Presto Levanter did best of the prominent racers but her rise for her recent win took its toll.

Tea Cake, who has ruined her chances  by pulling too hard, was buried at the back and was held up in her run through for nearly a furlong at a vital stage. Switched left to the stands' side of the pack, she stayed on takingly and on this showing is going the right way to suggest further progress.

Khazina was another to suffer a troubled run and she too was finishing off well and has run better than the bare form.
