Algarade took keen hold, disputed 2nd until chased leader over 5f out, led on bit over 2f out, ridden clear well over 1f out, readily
Bavarica steadied start, held up in last pair, headway well over 2f out, ridden and effort on outer 2f out, chased winner inside final furlong, never threatened winner
Stringsofmyheart soon led, driven 3f out, soon headed, no chance with winner after, lost 2nd inside final furlong
Montrachet restless in stalls, disputed 2nd until over 5f out, ridden 4f out, weakened 2f out
Auntie Mame in touch, ridden 3f out, driven 2f out, weakened well over 1f out
Seaflower Reef steadied start, behind, reminders 6f out, well behind last 3f
Baby Princess held up in touch, ridden 4f out, well behind last 3f, virtually pulled up last 2f
The filly could have been called the winner three furlongs out as Seb Sanders sat motionless in the saddle while his rivals were all hard at work, and once given the office in the straight she skipped right away. She is potentially well handicapped now back to her best having lost her way a bit last year, and she looks one to keep on the right side of now.
Bavarica also travelled well, held up off the pace, and she stayed on well to pass all but Algarade down the outside. She is an infrequent winner, but she's not badly handicapped and is pretty versatile surface wise.
Auntie Mame was close enough, tracking the pace, but she was another that didn't run up to recent form, finding disappointingly little at the business end.
Stringsofmyheart was urged to take up the running, but she was in trouble some way out and is probably handicapped out of things now.
