Comments in running

Electric Warrior pressed leader until led over 4f out, ridden 2f out, clear entering final furlong, comfortably

Obezyana chased clear leading par, closed 4f out, chased winner over 3f out, ridden and challenged 2f out, weakened entering final furlong

Zeeran very slowly away and lost many lengths start, never a factor, went modest 3rd over 1f out

Idealist led until over 4f out, chased winner until over 3f out, soon weakened, tailed off final furlong




Analyis of the race

An uncompetitive race run at a decent gallop, but a straightforward task for ELECTRIC WARRIOR, who did not have to be at his best to return to winning ways on these favourable terms. He's a useful sort in this grade on sand but is going to find life much tougher from a mark of 85 when returned to handicaps.

Obezyana would have been receiving a fair bit of weight from the winner in a handicap and he ran about as well as could be expected. He's a fairly consistent sort who will be seen to much better effect in ordinary handicaps away from progressive or well handicapped sorts.

Dual German Group 3 winner Idealist, the highest rated in this field, was easy to back and well beaten on this first run for new connections. He has plenty to prove.
