Magic Echo chased leader, outpaced over 3f out, headway over 2f out, led over 1f out, soon clear, eased final furlong
Thunderousapplause led, clear halfway, ridden and hung left over 2f out, headed and weakened over 1f out
Bavarica chased leaders to halfway
Frontline In Focus held up, behind final 5f
The winner is a regular front-runner, albeit over 1m2f, but shewas still hard-pressed to stay in touch with the leader during a frenetic first four furlongs, but after Thunderousapplause had run into a hole, she merely had to keep going to score.
This form is bound to be flimsy, but Magic Echo is clearly in form,and now that we know she handles Fibresand, it would be no surprise to see her win again here next week.
Bavarica and Frontline In Focus could never get into contention, but the latter was particularly disappointing given that she was heavily backed beforehand.
