LOOK BUSY is certainly a tough little cookie as she was hampered leaving the gates and saw plenty of daylight as she mounted her challenge up the centre of the track. She was also carried left by the runner-up, but deservedly got her head in front where it mattered. She is to have a short break before bidding to extend her winning sequence in mares' and fillies' races with a tilt at Group company possibly on the agenda towards the end of the season.
Princess Ellis set the scorching pace and hung on until the winner nailed her late on. She lost nothing in defeat on this step up in grade, even if she was understandably tiring and edging left inside the final furlong.
Eastern Romance was close up and probably pretty much ran to form on this drop back to the minimum trip.
Manzila has winning form in this grade and was to the fore for most of the way, despite racing on ground quickerthan she appreciates.
Mondovi, a convincing handicap scorer last time, was a little out of her depth, although she produced good early speed.
