A wet weekend full of poor results - the only glimmer of brightness coming from Single Cask, who started third favourite and finished fifth. The trainer was happy, though, and Tosaki-san said he felt a good surge of speed coming through, despite the waterlogged ground. So a promising future here, at least, assuming we can get better conditions for her to run on - that shouldn't be difficult!
Divine Daughter is not in fighting mode as yet. She went into ultra-high-tension mode the moment her mask was taken off, and fluffed the start, which is hard to overcome in such a short race. The jockey is saying she would be far better suited to longer distances in any case, but there are the things one learns in the heat of battle. She came ninth, having started as third favourite.
As for True Motion, she totally lacked spirit on the day, and that was that - she was dreadful, although the long, enforced gap between Sunday and her previous race wouldn't have helped.
