Slow to begin. Bumped rounding the home-turn when DELANEY’S GIRL was inclined to lay in under pressure. Continued to lay in under pressure in the home straight.

Passing the 400m, raced in restricted room when BOOG’S BOY shifted out in an attempt to improve. Bumped with MAN OF HEART approaching the 300m when shifting out in an attempt to obtain clear running. Again raced in restricted room approaching the 200m between PACKAGE and MAN OF HEART and became unbalanced when bumped on the hindquarters. Rider J. Taylor reported the mare would derive significant fitness benefit from the run.
