ONE MILE about 68 YARDS (8f abt 68yds) (1600m)
Sixth Race
4.21p.m. THE SCOTTISH RACING ACADEMY MAIDEN STAKES (CLASS 5) (GBB RACE)
FOR MAIDEN THREE YRS OLD AND UPWARDS NUMBER OF DECLARED RUNNERS 6
RACE DESCRIPTION
This one mile contest for those aged three-years-old and upwards is another maiden stakes - a race for horses that have yet to record a racecourse victory. There are a variety of reasons why the older horses in this race could still be maidens. Stoutly bred horses are unlikely to be seen at their best over the shorter distances of their juvenile season whilst a setback or injury can curtail even the most precociously bred horse’s two-year-old career.

Mahanakhon is another who shaped well on debut and is feared most. Manaslu may do best of the others. 1-2-3: 1.CUBANA HABANA (FR) 2.MAHANAKHON 3.MANASLU (IRE) STEWARDS NOTE: I’M TO BLAME: Following its run on 21/4/2022 it was reported that the horse weakened quickly.ENKINDLE: Following its run on 30/8/2021 it was reported that the horse ran too freely.
