MNASEK couldn't get close to the odds-on Soft Whisper in the 1000 Guineas here but ran on well and the longer trip will see her in a better light. Super Chianti and Khatun finished third and fourth but never threatened while Nayefah was even further behind. Despite beating Al Maroom in a maiden three weeks ago, Jumeirah Beach has a lot more to do so Last Sunset, runner-up in the 1000 Guineas trial over 7f, is probably the main threat despite a disappointing defeat a couple of weeks ago.
