Godolphin galloper In Secret became the first filly to win the Group 2 Run To The Rose (1200m) and stamped herself as the benchmark three-year-old for this season thus far.

The lightly raced improver was visually impressive, and she did it in style with the clock backing up her performance. Further, Punter’s Intelligence recorded her late strength and sectional merit.

Reigning dual Group 1 winner Fireburn was solid in her return after getting too far back and ran the race quickest 600m-200m split in 22.14.

The James Cummings trained colt had every chance but still did it and put his rivals away easily. In addition, he ran his final 400m split in 22.87 and was strong through the line.

He is progressive and will undoubtedly improve with the race experience.

Basquiat was solid, holding on for third after chasing the fast tempo and is ready to peak third-up.

Flag Of Honour was first-up and ran on well. Moreover, he was run to suit but clocked the second fastest final 200m split in 11.65.
