ANALYSIS: Easy, tacky ground for this six-race card, which began with this average claimer, which was run at six seconds above standard, despite there being a solid gallop from the off. There was also a fresh wind, blowing half into their faces down the straight.

OUTRAGEOUS FLIRT did not have the best of the draw, but she overcame her wide berth to win this in gritty style. Tough and consistent, she may not have stopped winning yet.

Paris Heights, another who came from a wide draw, ran well in defeat, while a similar comment can be applied to Sister Gee, who may not quite have stayed this trip, or at least, did not stay it as well as the front two.

Graze On, who was well in on BHB figures, was being niggled along at half-way. He stayed on in the closing stages, but lacked the pace to land a major blow.

Jaamid kept on really well in the final furlong and may be capable of picking-up a minor contest, especially with similar cut in the ground.

Bold Pursuit tried to make the most of his inside berth, but was found wanting when push came to shove.
