After being beaten a head at Bellewstown, Semantics started odds-on at Leopardstown where she attempted to make all but was headed a furlong out and faded. Different tactics may be employed here though MADLY TRULY was only beaten a head over that same track and trip where she didn't enjoy the clearest of runs and can go one better. Her stable also run the newcomers Lumiere Rock, a half-sister to a 1m4f winner, and Sashay, a 150,000gns daughter of Teofilo and related to three winners. Pro Bono Alexander cost 165,000gns and is the first foal of a winning sprinter in France.
