+LUMIERE (GB) (f, 2, Shamardal–Screen Star {Ire}, by Tobougg {Ire}) was well away to claim an early lead in this unveiling. Maintaining control throughout, the 6-5 chalk exhibited a smart turn of foot to establish a comfortable buffer entering the final eighth and geared down in the closing stages to score by an impressive six lengths from Sharja Queen (GB) (Pivotal {GB}). “She’s done nothing wrong at home and has not worked with anything of note, but what she has done was kick everything out of the way,” said trainer Mark Johnston. “We were hopeful she’d be that good and William Buick was very enthusiastic about that. We’ll go home and have a think where we go next. Looking at her pedigree there is no reason why she shouldn’t get a mile.” Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $9,936.
