+EASY VICTORY (GB) (f, 2, Dubawi {Ire}–Independence {GB} {GSW-Eng & Ire, $136,760}, by Selkirk) raced two lengths off the pace in second after the initial stages of this unveiling. Nudged closer passing the quarter-mile marker, the 11-2 chance quickened to the fore entering the final eighth and kept on stongly up the hill for two flicks of James Doyle's whip to prevail by two lengths from Tropical Rock (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}). “She does some very honest work in the morning, she's shown plenty of speed and is an improving filly,” commented trainer Saeed bin Suroor. “She will improve a lot for this race and is a filly for the future. We will maybe keep her at this trip for the [Aug. 18 G2] Lowther S. and, after York, we might step her up.” Easy Victory is the eighth winner out of G2 Sun Chariot S. and G3 Matron S. victress Independence (GB) (Seilkirk) and is thus a half-sister to G2 Great Voltigeur S. winner and G1 St Leger third Monitor Closely (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}), $434,854, and half to G1 Eclipse S.-winning sire Mount Nelson (GB) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}), winner of $896,813. The March-foaled bay is also kin to a yearling colt by Dubawi (Ire) and a colt foal by Oasis Dream (GB). Her third dam Sahara Forest (GB) (Green Desert) is an unraced half-sister to MG1SW dual champion and G1 Epsom Derby-winning sire Reference Point (GB) (Mill Reef). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $8,365.
