Mona Lisa Stakes (LR)
Fitou put up a really good effort. She was ridden patiently by James McDonald and settled in last place in the ten-horse field before improving (deep) approaching the home turn. She sprinted quickly (wide out) to hit the front on straightening and then went on to score comfortably, handling the Heavy10 conditions well. Tears In Heaven settled in fourth spot, on the rails, got through on the inner at the home turn to challenge on turning for home. She then kept fighting well for a good second, just finding the winner a bit too good. La Muse was back in seventh place, got a split (wide out) rounding the home turn and ran on well for third, putting up a nice effort. The favourite Elle Lou settled in seventh place, was shuffled back at the 600m before fanning very deep rounding the home turn. She then steadily made ground to finish a disappointing seventh.
