chased winner, ridden to challenge inside final furlong, no extra towards finish
coltish in preliminaries, restless in stalls, started slowly, ran green towards rear and outpaced throughout
outpaced towards rear, never on terms
towards rear, ridden in 6th over 1f out, kept on final furlong, never nearer
made all, ridden and pressed inside final furlong, on top towards finish
mid-division, plugged on final 2f, never a threat
tracked leaders on inside, pushed along over 2f out, weakened final furlong
tracked leading pair throughout, pushed along and unable to quicken over 2f out, ridden inside final 2f, hung left inside final furlong, eased when held towards finish
mid-division, pushed along and outpaced inside final 3f, weakened soon after
started very slowly, ran green and outpaced in rear throughout, very wide on home turn, never a factor
outpaced and always towards rear
Narrowly beaten on last year’s debut, MARIA ROSA proved a disappointment when sent off favourite on her reappearance at Chelmsford. But the return to 7f may help and the Gosden filly gets another chance in this weaker contest. Fast Spin looks a likely improver for a yard in flying form and is preferred to Pope Gregory and Filo's Flyer while the newcomer Inexplicable cost 325,000gns as a foal but was sold for only 12,000gns at last year’s sales.
