Rita Levi scored twice over the course and distance in the autumn but looked a few pounds high under today's rider when beaten five lengths last month. Stable companion Kartayaz finished a couple of lengths behind after scoring over shorter previously, with Macaban City just behind, while Final Fantasy, three-times a winner on Polytrack in the UK, ran her best race for new connections when stepped up to 1m2f earlier this month. FRENCH COMPANY, still a maiden after a dozen starts, came from well off the pace to finish a close third in that latter event and can finally get off the mark though Fancy Red Diamond made a very promising track debut over the trip a fortnight ago and is greatly respected.
