Be Smart was heavily backed to win this but was all out for a head win in the end. Winning trainer John Oxx later reported "she is a nice filly but was probably a terrible price to win in hindsight! She was stepping up from a median auction maiden to an ordinary maiden but is a well bred filly, whose dam is a half-sister to Alamshar."

Mon Zamin was defeated by a potentially very smart horse on her debut at Tipperary recently and narrowly failed here. She should take beating in a similar race next time out.

Holly Hawk ran well on her third start and is now eligible for handicaps. She stayed on quite well, appears to have plenty of ability but, on a slight minus, swished her tail twice in the straight.

Kokoro ran well on her debut while Step Dancing and White And Red may win handicaps in time.

Non-Runners were Sinful Pleasure (in season) and two reserves.
