Against our preview

Our best selection Suir Monad finished 4th, beaten 1.5 lengths ✗. Khormor Syd, one of the others we flagged, finished 7th. Navajo Point, one of the others we flagged, finished 6th.

What stood out

  • The shortest-priced runner, Suir Monad (11/4), finished 4th.
  • Anvika finished 1st at 14/1 – a big price for a placed horse.
  • Anvika won off a mark of 68 (8th highest-rated of 22); the handicapper will usually raise that.
  • The winner's recent figures were 3650.
  • A tight finish – little separated the first two.

Note for next time

  • Jp's Express – 3rd, beaten only 0.75 lengths at 22/1. Worth a look next time under similar conditions (1m1f, yielding to soft).
  • Suir Monad – our pick, 4th here. Check whether the trip or yielding to soft suited before siding with it again.
