🥇 Cinderella’s Dream (5/2)
4yo | Godolphin | William Buick

🔹 Finishing Speed: 105.25% (fastest)
🔹 Final 2f split: 12.44s (fastest)
🔹 Top Speed: 42.29mph
⭐ Classy turn of foot. Proven at the top level. Group 1 options wide open now.
🥈 January (6/4f)
3yo | Aidan O’Brien
Hit the front 1f out but was outkicked late. Big-striding 3yo with scope.
🔹 Finishing Speed: 104.65%
🔹 Avg Stride: 7.49m
⭐ Top-level miler in her own age group — hard to fault.
🥉 Crimson Advocate (5/1)
4yo | Wathnan Racing

🔹 Finishing Speed: 104.19%
🔹 Avg Stride: 7.52m (best in race)

🧐 Other Notes
- Elmalka stayed on fairly in 4th, but lacks top-level change of gear.
- Lady Ilze (5th, 50/1) shaped better than odds suggest – might stay further.
- Running Lion & Elwateen faded badly after setting or tracking the pace. Both posted sub-99% finishing speeds.
🔚 Summary
Cinderella’s Dream proved the strongest finisher in a cleanly run Group 1, showing tactical class and acceleration. January lost little in defeat and remains a top prospect. Crimson Advocate’s big engine and closing figures mark her as one to keep on side.
