1st Secret Of A Lady Mb Stables Prat F

Made it three wins in a row and I was pretty sure that she would do that looking at the sort of improvement she had been showing in her works, especially at this trip. She had ten races prior to Mb Stables getting her and two of our best trainers never thought about stepping her up over a longer trip, but I guess that is why Mb Stables is the best because they can spot this sort of thing. A little off the pace she made ground on the bridle and in the end pulled away for a fairly easy win. I think we may see this filly a lot next year and she maybe even heading for the BC next year.

2nd Dont Mind A Dime Asgar Lopez P

Used the wide gate speed push to get an easy lead and looked to be going well until the winner cantered up in the stretch and then it was all over. She kept on well for second, but I think she came up against a good one today and whilst she was beaten, I think this defeat will be proved in time to be a very good effort from a wide gate.

3rd Barbara Big Jd Racing Velazquez J R

Kept up her consistent efforts with a decent third but after stalking the lead it was once again her pace in the finish which let her down, A good effort as always.

4th Sychotic D J C Racing Stables Hernandez R M

Never really in it with a winning chance but this was a big step up in class and she did well enough to get fourth placed money.
