Verdict

Mimi Kakushi won the Trial for this over 7f, leading off the final bend and powering clear. That was a significant improvement on her earlier runs where she was beaten by both ASAWER (NAP), runner-up in the trial, and third-placed Awasef. The former finished strongly off what was a fast pace and with the longer trip certain to suit can reverse the form and take the season's first classic. Here We Are had also beaten the Trial winner earlier while Cite D'Or is an interesting entry for Harry Eustace though she's never raced on Dirt.
