Analyis of the race

After a dry, warm spell the surface rode slow and was officially changed to standard to slow after this race. A low-grade sprint handicap and the stands' side seemed not to be the place to be.

MR FUNSHINE kept tabs on the pacesetter and came clearin the end. He was having only his ninth career start and being a big type there may be even better to come. His trainer reckons he needs soft ground on turf and she is very hopeful he will improve as he gets older.

Mac Dalia, back to the scene ofher three victories all in selling company, soon had them strung out but in the end the unexposed winner was simply too good. Carmine Rock, on her handicap bow, stayed on after getting outpaced at the halfway mark and needs a sixth furlong.

Jalons Bridewell again hung under pressure and is not one to rely on.
