William Hill Sunline Stakes (G2)
Miss Rose De Lago was an impressive winner. She went to the front and then ran along at a good tempo (first 1000m 59.90). She then dashed clear rounding the home turn and then drew right away to score an outstanding win in this Group Two race. Noble Protector was midfield on the rails before getting along the inner nearing the home turn. She got through to fourth at the home turn and then battled on nicely for second, having no chance with the winner. Metaphorical was seventh on the rails, got along the inner from the 500m to be third on turning for home. She then battled well quite well to hold the minor placing. The favourite Fenway raced outside the leader (Miss Rose De Lago) but was under pressure at the home turn and battled in the straight for (3.6 lengths) fourth after working on a solid tempo most of the way.
