Analyis of the race

Those to have raced in this two-year-old maiden had shown only modest form, and the filly who had achieved the most had failed to reproduce it of late, so this contest did not take a lot of winning.

But that cannot be held against EXCELLERATOR, who made an enormously impressive debut and looked a class or two above her rivals - she had reportedly been under consideration for the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot and is clearly a good deal better than the average Fibresand two-year-old winner.

Soon prominent, she moved easily into the lead after halfway and came clear without being asked a serious question, winning very easily despite hanging left in front. Gauging the merit of two-year-olds who easily dispose of modest opposition is never easy but suffice it to say that she won with any amount to spare and is well worth the chance to show what she can do in significantly stronger company.

Bold Rose also improved on her debut effort, leading to halfway, while Eden Park also showed a little more this time, but like the runner-up, neither was remotely in the same league as the winner.

First Choice did best of the other newcomers, a shade keen and weakening in the final 1f, and should improve.

Rocket Ruby could not confirm apparent debut promise, while Meg Jicaro was again below her best.
