Analyis of the race

A fairly competitive Class 5 handicap, which was won from the front by the well-drawn DERRICKS DOTTY. Well handled, the winner kept finding throughout the last 3f and it would appear that the fitting of a tongue-tie and a visor had the desired effect.

Earlsmedic came out of the pack to look dangerous over 1f out, but he appeared to carry his head high under pressure and was unable to reel in the winner, who kept galloping right to the line.

Hansomis, a maiden, ran a creditable race to finish on the heels of the principals in third.

Vesuvio looked like getting into this when asked for an effort behind the leaders over 2f out, but he was unable to make an impression.

Strabinios King was drawn wide, which may not have helped his chances, while Imperial Sword, upped in trip, was drawn widest of all.
