Tcherina always prominent, led 3f out, edged left over 1f out, kept on well when pressed towards finish
Sphere always prominent, ridden to chase winner entering final 2f, edged left inside final furlong, stayed on towards finish but always looked held
Prelude midfield, ridden over 3f out, headway over 2f out, stayed on under pressure inside final furlong, not pace to trouble front pair
Shenandoah Girl held up, ridden over 2f out, headway over 1f out, stayed on inside final furlong, no impression towards finish
Its Moon led, headed 3f out, soon ridden, kept on under pressure until weakened inside final furlong
Snow Dancer held up, ridden over 2f out, not clear run over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, never able to challenge
Eventide in touch, ridden 4f out, hung left over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong
Sudden Impulse midfield, ridden and headway over 2f out, one final furlong
Kalokairi broke well, steadied after 2f to race off pace, niggled along over 4f out, effort with plenty to do when not much room and hampered inside final furlong, no danger
Sforzando midfield, ridden and lost place over 2f out, no danger after
Vanatina tracked leaders, ridden 4f out, weakened over 2f out
Syriana niggled along 5f out, always behind
Not a lot happened in this and with her stamina proven TCHERINA went for home early in the straight and stuck to her task gamely to maintain her advantage. This sort of surface suits her.
Sphere mounted a persistent challenge but just tended to lug to the left and, although inching closer all the time, she just couldn't get there. There ought to be improvement in her and this effort left the impression that a bit further would suit too.
Shenandoah Girl was never able to really get into it, butit was a fair effort stepped up from a claimer.
Kalokairi did not have the best of runs in the closing stages, but was never going to get into it.
