Queen Macha tracked leaders on inner, ridden just over 2f out, soon outpaced, weakened over 1f out
The pace was dictated by Dream Sea who did not settle in front and, when challengedby the favourite EMSHABB in the straight, she could not respond. The winner has been improving and was unlucky over course and distance last time. Held up early, she made her move down the outside on the run to the straight and, despite coming wide, found plenty to score with a little in hand. She looked pretty fit and the pound overweight Ryan Moore put up made no difference.
The other newcomer Ever Rigg, an expensive daughter of a Moyglare and Lowther Stakes winner,was held up right at the back before staying on steadily in the straight. She has a long way to go to justify her purchase price but has a fair bit of size about her and should benefit from the outing. (AR)
