Toby Edmonds-trained mare Winter Bride put up a smart first-up performance in winning here, her seventh win in 15 starts and her first at Group level. She was quickly away from her outside barrier (13) and was eased, after being caught deep, to settle in tenth place (wide with cover). She switched out on straightening, sprinted very well, hit the front at the 100m and went on to score, seemingly with something in hand by a half-length. Ellicazoom raced back in 12th place, went widest of all at the 300m, challenged at the 100m and fought very well for a good second. Platinum Angel raced in last place in the 13-horse field, went really wide from the 200m and then ran on gamely for a close up third in a good firstup run. I Am Excited settled in seventh place, between runners, got a split at the 200m and then fought on nicely for (1.6 lengths) fourth.
