RACE SUMMARY

A slow race in 'sticky' ground and a poor level of form.

The following table gives the ratings given to the actual race performances ('Estimate') compared to the Profile ratings assigned before the race. Boxes in green indicate a runner that over-performed in the race against the pre-race profile and in pink one that notably under-performed.


	Aboyne	Tafilah	Emily's Will	Ace Baby	Jazz At The Sands	Baytown Valentina	One Trick Pony
[Estimate] Post Race	54	47	47	48	47	33	28
Pre-race Profile	40	55	50	59	48	32	51

Aboyne was retained cheaply at the sales and received weight from the other colts. Settled midfield as the fillies forced the pace and came through in the last one furlong as they stalled. Probably only had to be the normal level of competence of trainer's debut runners and slightly better than a low profile to win. Trainer has record of being able to prepare poor types to win sellers that don't then progress. 11/2 4th favourite. A positive for his first season sire whose second runner it was.

Jazz At The Sands was the highest priced yearling in the field and from TV pictures looked bigger and with more scope than the others. Ran slightly freely and pressing leader until past halfway before fading away in the last one furlong plus. Typical trainer debut in terms of final performance but with some positive points and not the 'lost' debut he often has. Trainer has poor overall record with 2yos but watch to see how this one performs when switched to the all-weather.

One Trick Pony was as uncompetitive as his trainer's other 4 debut runners so far and none have shown the expected zip.

The other runners performed to their expected level within reasonable limits. Ace Baby drifted from 7/1 which is a bad sign for his trainer on debut who tend to know the ability of their runners prior to a race.

FUTURE RELEVANCE

A poor race and none of the runners looked likely to be capable of 70+ form. The only one of possible interest would be Jazz At The Sands because his trainer often has moderate debut runs and he appeared to be an acceptable type with some pace. It will be interesting to see how quickly the trainer switches him to the all-weather.
