RACE REPORT
As the tapes went up Noble Princess made the early running, but within a furlong Lady Violette had taken charge, followed by Rachel, Martina and El Obeid. She continued to set a strong gallop until approaching the distance, at which point El Obeid mounted a vigorous challenge, but was denied by a head, with fully 4 lengths back to Martina. |
