Verdict
MATRIKA made a winning debut here and though unable to hold off Porta Fortuna in the Albany Stakes, when Do It With Style was well beaten, should get back on the winning trail. Grand Job was less than a length behind in that race here and normal progress can see her in the shake-up again but Gunzburg, who was beaten around three lengths, looks held despite scoring at Down Royal. Launch was beaten just over four lengths by Porta Fortuna at Naas before a poor run in the Queen Mary.
