b m Viking Ruler (AUS) - Rising Lady (Alzao)
Made all, pressed by runner-up final 2f, kept on strongly from home turn, in command final 100yds, comfortably (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that mare disappointed last time on flat when it never travelled but subsequently won two hurdles when ridden more prominently; the change in tactics seems to have rekindled mare's enthusiasm; he added she is also in foal which may have had a positive effect as well)
