The outside bank of ten stalls failed to open first time, with Kinetic Power and Questive jumping off but being reined in quickly so that they went less than a furlong. MISS HIGHJINKS proved a class apart from these in a one-two for the fillies against the colts. The Annabelle Ja race in which she was third is likely to prove one of the better maidens of the winter - the second has won since - and connections feel Miss Highjinks is capable of getting black type, so it would be dangerous to write off the rest as cannon fodder.

Kasumi deserves plenty of credit as this was her belated debut. She looked to know her job well enough and kept battling away to hold the pack at bay after chasing the winner into the straight.

Salisbury World tooka very keen hold at the back but stayed on steadily without being knocked around on this third run to qualify for handicaps.

Questive was best placed up front off a steady pace and ran well enough for a colt bred to need considerably further.

Airbuss left money in the satchels again and this big colt did not show enough to suggest the money has only been lent.

The stewards inquired into the running of Airbuss and noted the explanation of connections, who reported the instruction had been to hold him up as too much use had been made of him on his debut. The rider reported the colt was unsuited to the slow pace and track and, in his opinion, needed a longer trip. The trainer's representative reported the colt had run in snatches.
