Mona Lisa Stakes (LR)
Godolphin-raced mare Savatiano scored a really good firstup win, her first stakes success in 12 starts and is now the winner of her past three races in succession. She settled at the tail of the 11-horse field from a wide barrier, improved quickly when the pace slackened on passing the 800m and joined the leader (Shumookh) coming to the turn. She got the upper hand at the 100m and went on to record a smart win. It was also a very good ride by Kerrin McEvoy. Shumookh went to the front, steadied the pace in the mid-stages, was challenged rounding the home turn and then battled on well for a good first-up second. Irithea settled in fourth place, but caught wide. She put in a bid (wide) coming to the home turn and then kept fighting on well to take the minor placing.
