RACE REPORT
Shining Star dwelt at the start, losing many lengths, but on settling down Fairy Light led from So Lovely and Wincara. With half a mile to run So Lovely took it up, closely attended by Fairy Light, an order which was maintained rounding the final bend. At the distance Majideh made smooth progress to win hard held by a length from Fairest, with fully 5 lengths back to Primrose Path in third. |
