After four placings in his first six starts, Godolphin-raced three-year-old Hemsted broke through for a narrow but good win here. He began well from his wide barrier (10) and soon settled in third place, before moving up at the home turn. He got to the front at the 200m and then fought back to score in a photo. The Peter and Paul Snowdentrained filly My Demetra had a nice trip in fourth place until into the home straight. She moved up at the 200m and kept making good ground over the latter stages, failing by a narrow margin for second in a promising debut. Team Hawkes-trained filly Georgina Gold went to the front and led the field until the 200m before holding on to take third.
