Analyis of the race

They went a steady pace and only the first three really got into the race with CHARLEVOIX following up a reappearance success at Redcar. She had been withdrawn at the stalls on her latest intended outing at Bath but proved perfectly amenable on this occasion and was held up on the inside in touch until brought to head the front-runner with half a furlong to travel and kept on well. She is clearly going the right way and had taken a 9lb rise for her recent success in her stride. She could be stepped up to ten furlongs for her next start and may still have more to offer.

Aboriginie ran a sound race in ground that may not have been ideal and his rider set a steady pace until quickening it up over 2f out. That ploy had all but the winner in trouble but it was encouraging to see him return to form and he could soon find a little handicap somewhere.
