Consistent Godolphin-raced filly Rock Dove took her record to two wins and four placings from nine starts in recording her first stakes success here. She raced back in fifth place, tracking a good tempo before improving from the 600m, challenged rounding the home turn, hit the front (out deep on the track) and went on to score a good win, running the 2100m out well. The favourite Our Long Sali raced towards the tail of the field, improved nicely from the 600m, went deep to be in a challenging position on turning for home and kept fighting well to take second.
