A lack of depth for a race of this grade but the standard-setter ultimately proved her class, Ocean Quest running to a smart level in pulling clear of the quartet who raced with her on the far side as well as all of the larger group who came towards the stand side, the far-side group probably the best place to be, the runner-up's effort therefore possibly worth marking up slightly.

OCEAN QUEST (IRE) proved better than ever as she picked up a second win of the season, this hardly the strongest Group 3 ever run but doing it with plenty of conviction, a likeable filly; raced far side, led overall, travelled well, ridden over 1f out, drew clear inside final 1f, won readily.

AUSSIE GIRL (IRE) is proving consistent at this sort of level and right up to her best once again, her effort probably worth marking up given where she raced, easily winning the race on her side; raced stand side, prominent, travelled well, ridden over 1f out, stayed on, first home in group.

SECRET ANGEL (IRE) typically gave her running, just beaten by classier types on the day, probably not up to winning a race in this grade, in truth; raced far side, in touch, challenged over 2f out, left behind by winner final 1f.

CLOUNMACON (IRE) fell a tad short of reproducing her effort here last time, though the leaders didn't come back to her so easily this time and Aussie Girl franked the form here so there's every reason to think she remains in excellent heart; raced far side, waited with, headway under pressure over 1f out, kept on final 1f, never a threat.

OCEAN JEWEL (IRE) shaped as if still in good form, doing second best of those in her group, an 11-week absence perhaps telling in the latter stages; raced stand side, prominent, travelled well, challenged briefly 2f out, faded last ½f.

BELLAPHINA (IRE) in first-time cheekpieces, found the test too sharp and probably isn't up to this level in any case, handicaps back over 7f/1m sure to suit better; raced far side, chased leader, outpaced over 2f out, plugged on final 1f.

LADY TILBURY probably remains in form but once again had her limitations exposed in this grade; raced far side, waited with, headway 2f out, faded final 1f.

APRICOT TWIST (IRE) back on turf, found this too competitive; raced stand side, in rear, pushed along over 2f out, made no impression.

CORALILLO (IRE) fared no better in first-time blinkers after just 4 days off; raced stand side, led group, weakened from 2f out.

HONEY SWEET (IRE) failed to even threaten to land a blow in first-time blinkers and needs her sights lowering; raced stand side, raced off the pace, made no impression.

QUEEN MAEDBH (IRE) ran poorly; raced stand side, in touch, weakened 2f out.
