Star mare Fangirl showed her brilliance again on Saturday and ran over the top of her rivals with style in the 7+ Sport Stakes (1600m) at Royal Randwick.

Punter's Intelligence recorded leader Major Beel ran the first 1000m in 1:01.08, approximately six lengths slower for that section than the Benchmark 88 event over 1600m.

Fangirl had to overcome the race shape/track pattern, but her customary turn of foot was once again too sharp for her rivals.

She built momentum in the straight, and her final 600m/400m/200m splits in 32.93/21.72/11.05 were some of the fastest of the meeting.

The Chris Waller-trained runner relishes high-pressure races, and she'll look to go back-to-back in the King Charles lll Stakes (1600m) in a month.

My Oberon will be fitter and forgive Royal Patronage, who will be suited back to handicap conditions.

James McDonald's ride on Autumn Glow was tactical perfection, taking luck out of the equation, and she added another string to her bow in adaptability.

She sat outside the leader at a very slow pace but accelerated hard, running 10.77 between the 400m-200m, and maintained a strong finishing speed.

The undefeated filly is an improving type on an upwards ratings spiral, and she deserves to be a short-price favourite in the upcoming Group 1 Flight Stakes, with the 1600m only looking positive.

Snow In May caught the eye after being slow out and getting too far back. She surged to the line, flashing home to finish second, and her final 200m in 11.03 was the fastest of the entire meeting.

Ameena was mathematically out of the race after having too much to do from the wide draw, and she ran the race's quickest 800m-200m split in 33.59. She can settle much closer with a better draw.

I Am Me backed up her first-up win and strengthened her claim for an Everest slot after winning The Shorts (1100m).

She had all favours chasing an even speed, but when challenged over the concluding stages, her determination kicked in, and she responded again, running 11.49 for her final 200m.

Stefi Magnetica went out a Group 1 winner last campaign, and she has returned in fantastic order, running the meeting fastest final 600m in 32.66.

Unsuited over 1100m, she got too far back and was checked/blocked at key stages, but once clear, she hit the line hard. She can only benefit from the run and will improve sharply over more ground.

Forgive Private Eye with nothing going right, but he still ran the race's fastest final 200m in 11.19. He's going much better than the formguide reads, and with a more positive setup, he can bounce back into the winner's stall.

Phearson missing the start in Group 3 Bill Ritchie (1400m) changed the complexion/anticipated race shape, and Felix Majestic led up his rivals at a moderate-even speed, running 47.98 for the first 800m.

A patient ride by Rachel King aboard victor McHale proved the difference as she burst through a gap, running 11.27 for her 400m-200m.

Gringotts, a victim of circumstances, was held up for the majority of the straight, but once clear, he charged to the line. Further, the clock backed up his late visual strength, the gelding running 11.31 for his final furlong.

A quick mention of Eliyass and Ceolwulf, whose two runs had merit in a solid time race.

Eliyass continued to respond when challenged and went through the line full of energy, clocking 11.49 for his final 200m. He deserves to be a clear favourite for his target, the Group 1 Metropolitan.

Ceolwulf had his chance, but his late splits were sharp, running 33.28 for his final 600m and back to 1600m in the Group 1 Epsom is a strong profile.

Fastest last 600m: Stefi Magnetica 32.66
