Coolmore Stud Stakes (G1)

Age: 3yo Type: OPEN

Racing in blinkers for the fi rst time, Merchant Navy took his record to fi ve wins from six starts in taking out this Group One race. He was ridden quietly and remained near the tail of the 20-horse fi eld, behind a strong pace (fi rst 600m 34.70), before switching closer to the rails side and improving nearing the 200m. He then came with a strong fi nishing run to grab a head victory at the post. Invincible Star led the fi eld at a good tempo, got a break at the 300m and was only overhauled right on the post for a close second aft er running a bold race in a most impressive eff ort by this talented fi lly. Formality settled nicely just behind the leader (Invincible Star), briefl y looked a threat at the 150m and then fought on well for a good third while another fi lly, Limestone caught the eye in running on late from last at the 800m to fi nish (2.3 lengths) fourth just in front of Viridine who was handy all the way before fi nishing (2.8 lengths) fifth.
