led early, chased winner, pushed along over 3f out, switched right 2f out, ridden and no chance over 1f out
outpaced throughout, never any chance
led down to start, made virtually all, edged left to inside over 2f out, came clear over 1f out, eased close home, unchallenged
After seconds at Musselburgh and Newcastle, SANDRA'S DIAMOND was pitched into Grade 3 company over course and distance last time. Unsurprisingly, she came up short but wasn't far behind some talented fillies and it is difficult to oppose in this. Keith Dalglish also runs Vosne Romanee but he's shown little so far and the danger is likely to be Missouri Spirit, though he's already finished behind the selection this year. Penny Pursuits is likely to do better in handicaps.
