Quite a few of the higher-rated runners in this year's Two Year Old Trophy were drawn high, Swissterious, Vintage Brut and Red Balloons next to one another in the stalls, and there seemed to be a disadvantage to them staying nearest to the stand side, the ground maybe slower than further across the track where the main action unfolded, and clearly that trio, and others, not giving their running weakened the race significantly.

SUMMER DAYDREAM (IRE) has quickly come a long way, less than a month into her career and improving all the time, landing this listed event with a near-useful performance, and the way way she swept through from off the pace was impressive, making up a lot of qround quickly and easily; raced far side, held up, travelled smoothly, good progress 2f out, led approaching final 1f, driven out; there's more improvement to come and she'll probably stay 7f, though does have the pace to keep to sprint trips.

BEAT LE BON (FR) was very strong in the betting and justified it in the sense of putting up a big effort in defeat, improving on his promising debut run this time and close to losing his maiden tag in listed company, just not quite getting motoring soon enough dropped to 6f, faring best of the high draws too, although he was switched more central from the stalls; mid-division, pushed along over 2f out, kept on well inside final 1f, nearest at the finish; a return to 7f may be ideal and he remains with potential, mindful of a physique that suggests he should train on.

KODYANNA (IRE) is a half-sister to Darkanna who won this for the same connections last year, and back on firmer ground, wasted no time getting back to form, adding more black type, but she was beaten on merit and is starting to look exposed; chased leaders, every chance over 1f out, one paced.

JAMES WATT (IRE) faced a stiff task in this grade after a 9-week break and ran as well as could be expected to hit the frame, benefiting from the drop back in trip after trying 7f last time; chased leaders, driven over 1f out, kept on.

FINOAH (IRE) has some good form that makes this improved effort up in grade believable, the visor probably having a positive effect; chased leaders, ridden over 2f out, one paced; although 0-9 so far he's not been put in easy races and is well up to winning soon.

STRICT TEMPO seems to be growing up with experience, not looking as awkward now as on her early starts, and she was unlucky not to finish closer here; mid-division, not clear run over 1f out, keeping on when hampered final 100 yds, finished with running left; she's bred to be suited by 7f+ and looks ready to go up in trip.

CABALLERO (IRE) faced a stiffer task in this grade, especially dropped in trip, lacking the pace to land a serious blow, but he made late headway to show that he remains in good form.

QUE AMORO (IRE) is all speed and failed to stay the extra 1f, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests; led, typically travelled well, headed approaching final 1f, weakened; she's likely to prove best at 5f and the way she went through most of this gives hope there's still a better performance in the locker.

HOWZER BLACK (IRE) in first-time cheekpieces, was flying too high in this grade but ran creditably; slowly into stride, outpaced, headway over 1f out, kept on but never dangerous.

RATHBONE was below form and looked lazy through the first half of the race; slowly into stride, soon pressured, headway when short of room entering final 1f, kept on but never on .

ORANGE BLOSSOM has been highly tried since day one, kept exclusively to listed/pattern races, and she's just not up to it; mid-division, driven 2f out, one paced, always around same position.

UGO GREGORY improved in a nursery 4 days earlier but that was only from a mark of 61 and he was out of his depth here; pressed leader, ridden over 2f out, weakened final 1f.

CANAL ROCKS is still a maiden, with only fair form to his name, and was out of his depth in this grade; in touch, outpaced over 2f out, weakened over 1f out.

LIGHTNING ATTACK is better judged on previous form, overfaced in this company, and as mentioned the last twice he's ready for longer trips.

VINTAGE BRUT is better than this and seemed to be on the slowest part of the track; raced stand side, mid-division, struggling over 2f out, weakened.

SWISSTERIOUS can have this run ignored as he was one of those that stayed towards the stand side on what looked the slowest ground, chasing the leaders until 2f out but soon clear he had no chance where he was.

RED BALLOONS can have a line put through this run like the others that raced closest to the stand side, struggling 2f out and soon beaten.

THE GIN is better judged on previous form as from stall 21 he raced on the disadvantaged part of the track, never on .

GINVINCIBLE was flying too high in this grade; prominent, weakened over 1f out.

ALFIE SOLOMONS (IRE) can have a line put through this run; racing on worst of ground, mid-division, struggling over 2f out, weakened.

WASNTEXPECTINGTHAT is best not judged on this run, racing on worst of ground and never on .
