b g Kahyasi (IRE) - Sharesha (IRE) (Ashkalani)
Settled in mid-division, good headway after 3 out, led next, headed briefly last, soon ridden to regain lead and stayed on best run-in (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form shown, that today's win came as a bit of a surprise following a string of disappointing efforts; he added that the horse had always worked well at home, but up until now had not shown anything on the track; he concluded by saying that today's conditions of two miles and two furlongs on good ground were exactly what the horse required and had obviously helped the animal to show his true form.)
