 Yet another race dominated by those racing on either side of the track, with those coming down the middle finishing well of the pace.
Theatre Lady and Pageant dominated the stands side, with Fingal Nights and Ice Cracker calling the shots on the far side.
The winner who had not managed a win in 45 previous outings but who had been knocking on the door with placed runs on her last three outings, finally got her head in front where it mattered, as she took Pageants measure a furlong out - and held the late challenge of Ice Cracker on the far side.
The bare form is only moderate, but Theatre Lady has proved admirably consistant at this level this summer and, now that she has broken her duck, it would be no surprise to see her score again before long.
