Against our preview

Our best selection Vega's Virtue won ✓. The preview's case held up on the day. Ice Cube, one of the others we flagged, finished 2nd. Lillie Margot, one of the others we flagged, finished 3rd.

What stood out

• The shortest-priced runner, Ice Cube (2/1), finished 2nd.
• Vega's Virtue won off a mark of 66 (5th highest-rated of 10); the handicapper will usually raise that.
• The winner's recent figures were 1314, so it came in with winning form.
• A tight finish – little separated the first two.

Note for next time

• Ice Cube – 2nd, beaten only 0.3 lengths. Worth a look next time under similar conditions (1m½f, good to soft).
