Apr. 20 before a fruitless eighth-place effort in the G2 German 1000 Guineas 10 days later, she returned to outrun her 150-1 odds when staying on into fifth be- hind Nannina at Ascot June 23. Settling in front travel- ing easily here, she was in prime position as the pace quickened approaching the quarter pole and gained the edge soon after. Strongly pressed by Nannina and Jimmy Fortune in the climb to the line, she pulled out extra to assert as Musicanna closed late to finish on their heels. “She lost 29 kilos in Germany and never got in the race, running like a wet rag,” conditioner Clive Brittain explained. “It took me two months to piece her back together and get her to believe in herself again. We said beforehand that if they dawdled, we were going to treat it like a piece of work and quicken--every horse in a Group 1 race has a turn of foot and she used hers today.” Connections of Nannina blamed the lack of early pace for the reversal of the Coronation form and may point her at either the G1 Prix d’Astarte at Deauville July 30 or G1 Sussex S. at Goodwood Aug. 2, while trainer James Fanshawe was holding fire over the 6-5 favorite Soviet Song, who was bidding for her third consecutive renewal. Held up in rear in cus- tomary fashion early, she failed to make a serious im- pact on the finish and could only finish sixth. “She's a year older, but Jamie [Spencer] said she didn't quicken as she usually does,” Fanshawe told PA Sport. “We'll take her home and see how she comes out of it before making any plans.” Click for the racingpost.co.uk chart or the free brisnet.com catalogue-style pedigree.
