The lightly raced Merchant Navy mare Cottee had been building up for a peak performance and was an emphatic winner of the Listed Tattersall's Mile (1600m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday.
Last year’s Group I Pretty Polly Stakes (1m2f) at the Curragh was won by top class Fastnet Rock mare Via Sistina (IRE), who now calls Australia home and the race was run again overnight in Ireland with victory going to Juddmonte Farms homebred Camelot mare Bluestocking.
