quickly away, led and soon clear, edged right and reduced lead halfway, headed 2f out, soon lost 2nd, plugged on one pace in 3rd
held up and behind, headway on outside over 1f out, kept on final furlong, nearest finish
chased clear leader, closed halfway, led 2f out, came clear final furlong, very easily
slowly away, ran very green and detached
chased leaders, weakened inside final 2f
chased leaders on outside, ridden and went 2nd inside final 2f, kept on same pace final furlong, no chance with winner
chased leaders on rail, weakened over 1f out
held up early, never on terms with leaders, outpaced and struggling halfway, never a factor
Barbara Hepworth was a 33/1 chance on her debut in what looked a strong Ascot fillies' maiden but belied her odds with a fine effort though that was on fast ground over the minimum. Natalie's Joy is a half-sister to five winners, most of them useful, and her yard has a fine record on this track, while Mick Channon's youngsters continue to run well though Patchouli is bred for much further. Pimlico Pleaser is very speedily-bred and her stable remains in top form, a remark that also applies to Clive Cox' yard and Swift And Sure looks another nice addition as she's related to four winners. ZALPA cost a whopping 500,000gns and is a half-sister to a Grade 3 winner in Canada and out of a Grade 1 winning miler in the USA. She's taken to make a successful start.
