PRINCESS ANASTASIA missed the break spotting the field on the start, quickly assumed command controlling the moderate pace loose up front around the first turn, continued on unchallenged setting an even tempo along the backside, moved comfortably being nursed along on the front end through the final bend with rivals bearing down by the quarter pole, shifted out to be two wide turning for home and under a well rationed out ride had more when asked at the furlong marker to hold off foes on either side at the finish line. JUST MAGNIFICENT travelled on the rail in mid-pack for the first part of this two turn race, edged up taking the shortest way around on the final turn, skimmed the fence turning for home and closed in belatedly inside horses unable to get to the winner but besting the rest for the runners up share at the finish line. Z TRAIN (IRE) had her ears pricked up front going under the wire for the first time, tracked all alone behind the frontrunner on the initial bend and throughout the backstretch, chased on the far turn closing the gap outside the leader by the quarter marker, vied between foes three wide battling for the top spot in upper stretch but was outkicked in the final furlong and settled for the show award at the wire. DAZZLING CRUISER was unhurried under a tight rein trailing the field, continued in last well within range along the backside, mounted a rally circling rivals on the far turn at the quarter pole, loomed outside foes four wide straightening out for home but lacked a rally down the lane, failing to fire in the final eighth of a mile. RATINGS UPGRADE (IRE) stalked near the rear on the outside in the beginning, improved outside challengers down the back straight sitting in midfield by the half, could not quicken with others on the far turn when being passed on both sides at the quarter pole, shifted out five wide for the drive but could not play a role in the late running.
