Fillies Classic (G2)
Favourite My Poppette began well from her inside barrier (1), went straight to the front and then steadied the pace (first 1000m 61.53) before turning for home with a clear break. She then went on to win easily, sprinting home in a smart 34.86 (last 600m). Bengal Cat moved up in the early stages and then settled well outside the leader and kept fighting on in the straight for a sound second. Thames Court had a good run in fourth place, one out and one back, moved up three deep nearing the home turn and battled on quite well in the straight to take the minor placing. Silent Sedition raced at the tail of the eight-horse field, went wide coming to the home turn and put up a good effort, making ground in the sprint home to finish (4 lengths) fourth.
