A valuable race for the grade, as befitting a series final, though there's little out of the ordinary about the bare form; it didn't really pay to be too far off the pace after the fourth had steadied things after 1f or so, the fourth doing best of the patiently-ridden contingent and the main body of the field returning in a cluster.
