There'll
be some early season expectation for Godolphin's Exceed And Excel filly Jorda who
trounced them in a classy display in the second heat and first for the fillies.
Not asked for any real early pace Jorda sat off the speed but ambled by the
leader early in the straight and looked a class above the rest.
She won being eased down at the finish by James McDonald by two lengths.
Jorda is by Exceed And Excel who has been a mainstay among the top juvenile
sires for years, out of Montmelo, a Viscount mare that has left two previous stakes
placed winners in Pursuits and Catallonia.
1st – Jorda (Exceed And Excel x Moontmelo)
2nd – Lucky Louie (Pluck x La Bella Luisa)
3rd – Didn't Mention It (More Than Ready x Hussousa)
Time: 50.98
Margin: 2 lengths, Short Head
