Alassio is now the winner of three of her last four starts. Winner of the Triscay Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) here on February 16 she again showed pace and settled nicely outside the leader (Mandylion), got to the front at the 300m and then fought back gamely when challenged to win well. Dixie Blossoms, winner of this race in 2017 and 2018, had a good trip in fifth place. James McDonald brought her with a well-timed bid to challenge on passing the 200m and she then battled gamely for a good second. Manicure had a nice trip from her good barrier (3) in fourth place on the rails, challenged at the 200m and then fought on well for third just in front of Dyslexic, who made ground along the rails to be in a challenging position at the 150m before fighting on for (1.6 lengths) fourth.
