Analyis of the race

A Listed contest for older fillies drew a mixed bag of runners. KASUMI had something to find on official ratings, but she is clearly progressing well and, handling this ground admirably, she had the measure of Flying Clarets to win readily enough, after appearing to idle slightly towards the finish. She will go up a fair bit for this, but a Group 3 race in Hamburg may be next on her agenda in any case.

Flying Clarets just doesn't know how to run a bad race and she ran another cracker here on acourse she loves. This trip would be a minimum for her and this ground would have been plenty quick enough, but only the winner got past her.

Fondled, who travelled nicely, was carried right when asked to make her move and was soon found wanting.

Treat, fourth in last year's 1,000 Guineas, was very disappointing on her reappearance and finished detached of the field, plum last of nine starters.
