Meydan Groove made all, shaken up over 1f out, soon clear
Dean Iarracht slowly into stride, outpaced, headway over 2f out, ridden to chase winner and edged left over 1f out, soon outpaced
Frame And Cover slowly into stride, recovered to chase winner 6f out, ridden over 2f out, edged right over 1f out, soon weakened
Forzando Bloom chased leaders, ridden halfway, weakened 2f out
Gaborone tracked leaders, pulled hard, ridden and weakened well over 1f out
The winner was always in control and won as she pleased in the end. Nurseries are now the way forward with her as connections were keen to retain her at the subsequent auction so obviously think there is more to come.
Frame And Cover was tailed-off in one of these on her debut, so she is modest, while Gaborone, having her first outing for her new trainer, was very disappointing and will have to step up considerably on this if she is going to win even in this grade.
