resumed her progress and winning ways back in a less competitive affair than she was in last time, clearly a talented filly, capable of smart form which would make her competitive in some listed/pattern races, but there are signs of temperament too, which may catch up with her in those better races; held up, took strong hold, in touch end of back straight, led approaching final 1f, hung right, pushed out as she idled and typically flashed her tail.

wasn't right earlier in the year but returned to form after 4 months off, easily his best effort of the season, showing that he still has smart performances in him; close up, led after 3f, headed over 1f out, bumped soon after, stuck to task in chase of idling winner.

A good-quality handicap, the first 2 both smart horses, Rewaaya progressive to boot, but it can be hardly be said to be competitive so it's best not to rate the form too highly. REWAAYA (IRE) resumed her progress and winning ways back in a less competitive affair than she was in last time, clearly a talented filly, capable of smart form which would make her competitive in some listed/pattern races, but there are signs of temperament too, which may catch up with her in those better races; held up, took strong hold, in touch end of back straight, led approaching final 1f, hung right, pushed out as she idled and typically flashed her tail.
