In depth

Verdict

FEMINISM was unfortunate not to land what looked a strong maiden over the track and trip last month, not quite getting the run of the race but leading inside the final furlong only to be mugged on the line. She had Sagrada Familia two lengths back in fourth and Grenadine a close-up fifth and there doesn't appear any obvious reason for a form reversal. Never Forgotten, by Galileo out of a Group 3 winner, needed the experience at Gowran but went into a few notebooks with a late run while Etnaya, from a yard in top form with fillies, has a superb middle-distance pedigree and is one to note for the future. Simply A Breeze may do best of the remainder.
