The contenders

The race attracted a field of thirteen runners, nine trained in the United Kingdom and four in Ireland: there were no challengers from

Godolphin

representative Local Time, who had won her last six races including the UAE 1000 Guineas and the UAE Oaks. The field was completed by the Listed race winners Irish Rookie (Montrose Stakes) and Terror (Bosra Sham Stakes).

Lucida headed the betting at odds of

9/2 ahead of Legatissimo (13/2) with Fadhayyil and Jellicle Ball on 7/1. Next in the market were Osaila (15/2), Tiggy Wiggy (9/1) and Malabar (11/1).^[1]

Redstart broke quickly and set the pace along the stands side from Tiggy Wigqy who raced in the centre of the course before moving over to join the main group. Local Time and Queen Nefertiti and were among the leaders whilst Lucida and Legatissimo were towards the rear. Two furlongs out, as the fillies reached the cut-away, the race appeared to be wide-open, with all thirteen runners closely grouped. Lucida made rapid progress on the outside and overtook Tiggy Wiggy to take the lead approaching the final furlong, but Legatissimo quickly emerged as a serious challenger. The two Irish fillies drew away from the other runners, with Legatissimo prevailing by three quarters of a length. There was a gap of four and a half lengths back to Tiggy Wiggy who took third ahead of Malabar and Fadhayyil.
