STARLARKS remains progressive, putting her experience to good use. Ridden more positively after narrowly failing over 5f last time after a slow start, she made all and battled on tenaciously. With local connections, she will be found something at Goodwood, a track that should suit this handy filly.
Acquiesced carried her owner's first colours but was not trainer's shortest in thebetting. This early foal is related to winners over a mile and more, so this was a most promising debut, just failing to reel in the winner after crucially running green when first put under pressure on this debut. She should soon add to her trainer's winning roster.
Russian Rave and Abby Belle showed good pace but as previously were well put in their places in the final furlong.
Evaluation was far too green to do herself justice. Still nearly last into the final 2f, she started to get the hang of things and will be a different proposition next time. Always There showed good pace for a filly who is bred to find a mile more to her liking. She can build on the bare form over further, along with Perfect Pride and Dream Huntress, who were not disgraced on their debuts.
Snoqualmie Girl stumbled badly after a few strides but showed pace until weakening out of it.
