Analyis of the race

A mixed bag of runners in this sprint maiden, which was won by BARBARY BOY, who was making his belated seasonal debut. Rated 79, he was entitled to win a maiden and he duly did in a race where the runners once again raced wide of the inside rail and down the centre of the course and towards the near side. How much improvement there is to come is anyone's guess, but he will need to improve - the runner-up here was rated 26lb his inferior - as life will get tougher for him in handicap company.

Foreign Rhythm, who was wearing a first-time visor, ran above herself, or at least ran above her rating, in giving the winner plenty to think about. Miss Taboo kept on well to finish right on the premises. Rated only 48, her close proximity tells you plenty about the overall quality of this race. Mrs Bun claimed fourth place and is now qualified for handicaps.

Of the others, newcomer Molly Two showed a fair bit of dash until fading from over a furlong out. She can be made fitter yet and, with further experience, may beable to do much better.
