They didn't look a particularly good bunch of juveniles in this maiden which featured the reappearance of the Queen Mary eighth Sweet Applause. However, she faced very different conditions on the testing going here, and was also up a furlong in trip, andthough she made the running, and was clear a furlong out, she was caught in the closing stages by the newcomer FIRST CITY.

The winner looked the pick of the paddock, and should prove better than the form as she was drawn wide, raced green but finally found her stride in the final furlong and was well on top at the finish. Rossett Rose improved on her debut effort, chasing the leaders and keeping on for a creditable third with Identity, another newcomer, but better drawn than the winner, a quite promising fourth. Jessica May crossed over from her high draw to show in touch throughout, and these five were well clear of rest.
