| Estimate is reaping the rewards of a typically patient approach from Sir Michael Stoute and, a year on from her Queen's Vase win at this meeting, she improved further to land this Group 1, not the strongest renewal of it admittedly, but it still took a very smart effort and she was clearly suited by the 4f longer trip; tracked pace, pushed along over 2f out, edged ahead entering final 1f, tackled soon after, kept going well, showed a good attitude but also benefited from a good ride in a race that was a bit muddling; it has to be a positive that she remains so lightly raced (this just her seventh career start) and she'll no doubt be back to mount a big challenge to follow up in this race next year; in the meantime there are the other 'Cup' races to aim for. | ||||||||||||||||
