I can't find anything regarding this performance from ORGANISE ?
Something very impressive about this performance imo, not the absolute worse race and there was something of note within the numbers.

 
The two 6f races at newc were very telling in that the 3.35 was a very decent cl2 hdc where to my eye the front end went far too quick early which aided the first three home all come from the back including WILTSHIRE, trouble with that logic is when we look at the 1.50 cl2 3yr only race, it was run at an even stronger early pace and so i'm not at all surprised to see AL NAJASHI at +12.
The sectionals are fascinating imo.
 
8.00 wolvs ?
If there's good reason to believe BETWEENTHESTICKS deserves a +10 it surely follows that SHALAA ASKER also warrants a boost given he was just a head behind and might not have got the best of runs at about 1f out.
How do we assess these numbers going forward ?
Ages of 6 & 8 with both horses seemingly having the correct marks of lower or mid 60s so my take would be to be careful about plus 10 ,
sectionals were good especially late on but for me they don't explain why the first two did so well, also the 3rd and 4th were close enough.
ORGANISE did go into my tracker the other day.
edit meant AL NAJASHI

Closing 2f sectional: 23.20 (103.1%); winner 22.80 (104.9%).
BETWEENTHESTICKS, who saved ground and got a good tow into the straight, had been off since October but resumed off his last winning mark and did just enough.
Shalaa Asker was closing the winner down in the final stages but he'd had to concede first run having travelled best, and was never quite getting there.

Just add 17lbs to the speed figures (MR) to see what handicap marks they ran to.
