Starsong
Download The Free Racing TV App Now Fillies' Handicap

What worked

What we learned / things to watch
The clearest results came from Carrigans Grove, who was detached and finished last, and Bahadur, who also finished well behind after meeting trouble in running.
Whiskey Bent, No Knee Never and Warrior Mode stayed closer to the action, but none could sustain a winning challenge in the closing stages.
Bahadur's blocked passage is a useful reminder to separate the confirmed result from how cleanly the race unfolded when reviewing future checks.
