Analyis of the race

A race that seldom has much bearing on the Classics, and although three of these had entries, only one was in the 1,000 Guineas. The pace was only steady, and in a bunch finish the winning time was well over a second slower than that recorded by the older fillies half an hour earlier.

JAZZ JAM won her nursery off only 72, but a subsequent Listed second over this trip gave her a chance and she represented a stable that has made a blinding start to the turf season. There were plenty with chances 2f out, but once she got to the front she was always going to win. The Italian 1,000 Guineas is on the agenda now.

Comeback Queen, fifth in the Listed race in which the winner was second, has an Oaks entry, which suggested that 1m round here would be sharp enough unless they went very quick, which they didn’t. Held up in rear, she had to weave her way through the pack and gave Love Of Dubai a bump before running on strongly to close the winner down inside the final furlong. She is going to be very well suited by further.

Madame Hoi is still a maiden, but Irish Classic entries suggested she is well regarded and she made a pleasing AW debut. While she admittedly had the run of the race and was allowed to dictate her own pace, she kept on well when headed.

Frivolous, another who had already won round here this year, was reluctant to go in the stalls but got to the front briefly in the straight and seemed to run her race. Love Of Dubai, who had good form in Dubai, would have been a bit closer but for being squeezed up between ComebackQueen and Elizabeth Swann inside the final furlong.

Jeninsky also ran better than her finishing position suggests, for she was going on well at the finish, with something left in the tank, having been held up last in a slowly run race and then denied a run when trying to nose up the inner at the intersection.

Honky Tonk Sally ran moderately, and Kay Es Jay, who was dropped in class, was very disappointing, having been quite keen early on.
