I saw that her price was a lot smaller at the off than it was yesterday evening. Someone fancied her, and expected her to outrun her price, but it wasn't my money. I was just happy to see her hit the line in front,. It's nice to have her back on track. She's always been promising and we just had to get her to put it all together today. With the help of Gary Halpin she did that. The trip and ground was ideal, she got a lovely run on the rail and picked up well when Gary asked her. It was a really good performance. On that evidence I'd say she'd get a mile, now that she's running her race the right way around. I'd expect her to improve again off that. We'll look at the premier handicaps that are coming up. I had earmarked one a couple of weeks ago but we took her to York instead and the ground was a bit quick for her over there. I'll get my head in the program book now and look forward to the season with her. She's a nice filly to have. Jack W Davison, trainer

The Stewards requested a report from Jack W. Davison, trainer as to the apparent improvement in form of Black Magic Woman, placed first, as compared with its recent form. The trainer reported that this filly found the ground too quick at York last time but being back on easier going today allowed her to travel within her comfort zone throughout the race. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the explanation offered.
