tracked leader on outer in 3rd, improved into 2nd halfway, ridden to challenge 2f out, narrow lead 1f out, kept on well to maintain advantage
led, pushed along and joined 2f out, ridden and narrowly headed 1f out, kept on but not match winner
tracked leader in 2nd, 3rd halfway, soon 4th, ridden entering straight, no impression 2f out
towards rear, 4th halfway, soon improved into 3rd, pushed along approaching straight, kept on one pace final furlong without troubling principals
slowly away and pushed along in rear, closed up on field after 1f, driven along off pace in rear halfway, never a factor
Dainty Dancer showed little on her debut and is up against it with some smartly-bred newcomers in opposition. Dermot Weld won the first running a year ago and Spryt, a half-brother to three winners and out of a Sadlers Wells mare, looks certain to come in for support. Aidan O'Brien's HOMELAND is by Galileo and a half-brother to the Coventry Stakes and Golden Jubilee winner Art Connoisseur however. He may just have the call here over another Coolmore-owned entry in David Wachman's filly Beautifully, who is also by Galileo and out of the Irish 1000 Guineas winner Again.
