ANALYSIS: Very few featured in this five-furlong event in which SHARP HAT wore down the runner-up to win his 23rd race, but his first since November 2003.

Percy Douglas, fifth here on Monday, made the running until caught by the winner and remains in decent form.

Shirley Oaks, who was below par here on Monday, ran better this time but is an exposed performer.
