Kris Lees-trained filly Grand Bouquet, resuming at her second race start, scored a really good win here, albeit in the last few strides. She settled in second last place in the 14-horse field from her wide barrier (13) and was still at least ten lengths off the leaders nearing the home turn. She then ran on strongly in the centre of the track to grab a very good win at the post. She looks suited to further and is a filly to watch. Gwenda Markwell-trained filly Holy Empress also drew badly and she was last to the home turn. She angled between runners on turning for home and then ran on really well (racing a bit greenly in the latter stages) for a close second in a very promising debut.
