Friends Hope slowly into stride, held up and behind, steady headway over 4f out, went 2nd over 2f out, soon ridden and edged left, led just over 1f out, ran on
Adorabella held up in touch, chased leader over 3f out until over 2f out, switched right over 1f out, chased winner final furlong, kept on
Garafena held up and behind, headway over 3f out, ridden over 2f out, stayed on same pace final furlong
Celticello held up and behind, ridden over 2f out, headway over 1f out, stayed on same pace final furlong
Davenport held up and behind, ridden over 2f out, never troubled leaders
Spence Appeal took keen hold, chased leader until over 3f out, ridden and weakened over 2f out
Queen Excalibur led, clear over 5f out, ridden and headed over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong
Lights Of Vegas prominent, pushed along over 4f out, weakened over 3f out, tailed off
Adorabella remains a maiden after six tries on the Flat now, but there does not seem to be any question marks over her as she ran on well enough without being able to pick the winner up. She should have one of these modest contests in her at some stage.
Celticello has done all his winning with more cut in the ground and that is probably the key to him.
