Some strange times on the card with the 2 maidens quicker than the class 4 opver a mile especially when you look at other placed horses in those races making them 80 horses
and then this 7f race for poor handicappers rated upto 70 this weak looking handicap was only .23 sower than twin appeals race rated 85 for iolder horses and the 3yr old only carried slightly less weight.It maybe the headwind and where they raced on the track just flatters them in the 3yr old race and form maybe worthless but comparatively to the rest of the card was fastest race so will keep coming back to it and see if these two frank the times.The winner was only rated 60 and runner up 64,the second div won by my to follows hiorse three gracez won in a time 1.67 seconds slower in following race so maybe the form is reasonable for grade,the ground was very slow though so wether these two will get same conditions for awhile unlikely as well so maybe worth noting for autumn...
