Good Onya Mate (IRE)

AJA Novice Flat Amateur Jockeys' Handicap

Finish
4th of 13
Race winner

Horse won

Honey Dale (IRE)

Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap

Finish
1st of 11

19:30

SOUTHWELL

Horse did not win

Lunar Melody

AWC Season 14 Has Begun Fillies' Handicap

Finish
9th of 10
Race winner
Zooella

Lunar Melody was making progress from midfield when short of room two furlongs out. She then hung left and made no further impression in the final furlong, finishing ninth behind Zooella. The interference is worth remembering when assessing her next run.

Looking ahead

What we learned / things to watch

Hares Bredth lost by only a neck, while Tele Red was a clear second. Keep these competitive runs in view; a successful lay does not always mean the horse ran poorly.

Honey Dale's comfortable win is a reminder to give improvement a fair hearing. Lunar Melody's lack of room also matters: check the race comments before relying on a low finishing position next time.
