RACE REPORT
Lisvarna was quickest into her stride, after a first time start, leading from Dictation, Louvois Star and The Kiwi all in close attendance. After settling for 2 furlongs Lisvarna continued to lead, with Irish Republic taking closer order. With just 3 furlongs to run Irish Republic beat a retreat, while Lisvarna swung wide into the straight allowing The Kiwi through on the inside and Dictation mounting a challenge in the centre. At the distance The Kiwi drew away to win by a comfortable 4 lengths from Dictation, with a further 2 lengths to Lisvarna. |
