Analyis of the race

All ten of these fillies had already seen the racecourse, with virtually all of them having shown a level of form to suggest they would be in the winner's enclosure shortly. PORTODORA had finished between Miss Brown To You and Gulf Stream Lady last month when she was slowly into stride, but her being at the back here looked more by design, with her rider deciding to drop her in from her wide draw early on. She was shaken up over a furlong from home and got up late on. Connections reckon this is her trip and her trainer, a good judge of a filly, suggested that "hopefully she will be all right".

Lindelaan has got closer with each of her three starts. A further step up in trip could well be to her liking and she is unlikely to remain a maiden formuch longer.

Quirina was not beaten far behind Dar Re Mi on her sole start last year. Her rider was at work a long time from home, giving the impression this trip may be on the sharp side for her. Amylee was the most experienced of these and her sixth in the Fillies' Million last year was the best form. She ran a solid race in what looks like a hot maiden. Deira Dubai raced plenty keen enough early on.

*Johnny Murtagh, the rider of Erlydors, lost his irons.
