Divine Right, a 100,000gns TATOCT yearling, emerged from Manton with a reputation and was duly sent off the 7-2 choice. Breaking well and showing early speed to race prominently, she took command at halfway and, despite jockey Jimmy Fortune dropping his whip in the closing stages, drew away to record a convincing 3½-length success from Novista (Ire) (Anabaa Blue {GB}). “She's a very nice filly and is terribly laid-back, but is always willing to please,” trainer Brian Meehan said. “She was just idling a little bit and is very professional.” Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, £4,695.
