Unlike her debut run she was ridden prominently and railed well. She went
clear from 2f out as the weaker runners stalled and folded. The failure
of the other better runners on profile led to an easy 5 lengths win but
an average time.

Paddock review showed her to be small & limited and nothing like her
solid 7f pedigree nor her sire's better types. Mild each-way support from
10/1 to 13/2 in race where, as often, a number had similar support. Travelled
ok behind Line-of-3 leaders but slightly lost place at halfway before plugging
on best of the stragglers to take second. Put up a poor performance similar
to the earlier seller winner. Need to win early in modest company.

12/1 despite previous experience and prominent on outside throughout and
faded with the group to a remote third probably rating similarly to her
debut. Seems exposed as 50s at best and needs to improve to get to that
level. In spite of the place another poor run for the trainer in 2005.

| OOH AAH CAMARA |
First 2yo runner of season for small stable who has at least two relatively
expensive 2yos in 2005. They have both been entered in many races including
the Brocklesby and a seller but both were declared here although only this
one ran.
In a poor to moderate group physically she was among the better types with
some size and length. 20/1 seventh favourite and was in touch before fading
with group to a remote fourth probably rating lower than the placers in
the earlier 2yo seller. Not a lost cause because can develop from this
and perhaps reach low 60s rating.

Slightly compact, slightly narrow and weak in front although at least has
some build to develop. Not fit enough on the day. Received a rating of
64 the same as she had at the sales.
Opened 8/1 and drifted to 12/1 before back to 9/1. Performance was below
expectations but in line with her fitness and profile on the day. Showed
up in leading line to past halfway before fading.
Rating of 64 suggests she is limited and an early minor win is probably
the target for her owner breeder.

A real disappointment. Most expensive in the field and cost 40k gns but
is small, lightly made and did not look ready to race. Looked like a neater
version of Agent Kensington from 2004. Started at 11/2 and with each-way
support for other runners and the favourite strongly supported the 'vibes'
suggested not a lot was expected.
Started slightly slowly and got a bump from Ellcon and never got into the
race.
Looks poor value at 40k and not one to follow. Trainer will have to work
to find a minor race for her.

| ELLCON |
A slight disappointment given her sales price and likeable pedigree. However
the other foals from the dam have been disappointing and this one did not
look she had developed from the sales.
Rated 70? in a moderate group and rating may have been a little high because
of 'trying to find something to be positive about' in the group. Deep in
front and ok length but narrow and lighter behind.
Looked slightly mentally immature and this showed up in the race with a
slow break and went left and bumped Rundear. Got behind before some progress
in straight and then fading.
Trainer had his best filly (Sapphire Dream) ready to compete well on debut
in 2004 and this one did not show similar ability nor readiness. Has a
little scope to develop but difficult to see her being 75+. Watch next
time.

| MAGICAL WORLD |
Had the most build of the fillies but, as noted a the sales, is lengthy
and short and lacking the range to move her build.
Trainer has his cheaper fillies ready to run to their best on debut and
run prominently. Using the rule that how long his prominent runners last
up front is a good indication of their ability this one gets a D-. Ran
slightly freely but fading from halfway and finished last at 25/1.
Trainer's cheaper 2yos do not progress from debut and no encouragement
that this more expensive one will break that trend.
