RACE REPORT
The runners were released on time and it was left to Flying Dinah and Maqueda to set the early pace in support of better fancied stablemate Hostility. The favourite Ventose lay comfortably in fourth, tracked by Ixia and Vera. All changed around the final bend as Ventose made her bid for glory, while the effort of Hostility petered out. At the distance Ventose was challenged by both Ixia and Vera, the former running on strongly to win by an easy 3 lengths, with Vera getting up by a neck to claim second at the expense of Ventose. |
