Against our preview

Our best selection Carnival Day finished 9th, beaten 9.75 lengths ✗. Charmaine, one of the others we flagged, finished 4th. Wonder, one of the others we flagged, finished 6th.

What stood out

  • The shortest-priced runner, Londoner (3/1), finished 3rd.
  • War Hawk won off a mark of 83 (3rd highest-rated of 13); the handicapper will usually raise that.
  • The winner's recent figures were 6556 – no recent top-three finish, so this was a step forward.
  • Winning margin 0.75 lengths.

Note for next time

  • Charmaine – 4th, beaten only 1.25 lengths at 8/1. Worth a look next time under similar conditions (1m3f, standard / slow).
  • Carnival Day – our pick, 9th here. Check whether the trip or standard / slow suited before siding with it again.
