Melodramatic, 3/4 to Tante Rose (Ire) (Barathea {Ire}), Hwt. Older Mare-Eng at 5-7f, G1SW-Eng, $394,512, was considered worthy enough to contest the Listed Washington Singer S. on debut last August and emerged with credit from that Newbury contest when claiming fourth prize. Sent off as the even-money favorite for her sophomore return at Newmarket's Craven meeting Apr. 17, the bay homebred failed by a head to break maiden status. She enjoyed crowd confidence once again in this third go and rewarded 4-9 backers by trouncing her 10 rivals by daylight. Breaking swiftly to race in a prominent second, she moved smoothly to the fore with a quarter mile remaining and bounded clear of her strung-out rivals thereafter to score by an impressive seven lengths from Desert Chill (Red Ransom). The victress is also a half to Bay Tree (Ire) (Daylami {Ire}), SW & GSP-Eng. Lifetime Record: 3-1-1-0, £5,124.
