Against our preview

Our best selection Dark Rosa finished 3rd ✓ – placed, but not the winner. Platinum Prince, one of the others we flagged, finished 4th. Norfolk Blue, one of the others we flagged, finished 13th.

What stood out

  • The market got it right: Gone Rogue was the shortest price (5/1) and won.
  • Reader finished 2nd at 14/1 – a big price for a placed horse.
  • Gone Rogue won off a mark of 68 (1st highest-rated of 15); the handicapper will usually raise that.
  • The winner's recent figures were 4166, so it came in with winning form.
  • A tight finish – little separated the first two.

Note for next time

  • Reader – 2nd, beaten only 0.3 lengths at 14/1. Worth a look next time under similar conditions (1m, good).
