Dormah
de Brugere (Dormane x Ballade Folle) continues to hold her
form
admirably
well this season winning easily at Brighton
over six furlongs in a Group 3 event over coming subsequent winner
CS Malik. She was always travelling well under Harry Haynes and
kicked readily clear in the final furlong to come clear of former
Group 1 winning sprinter Djeldor de Bozouls (Dormane x Udjella)
to claim her second Group victory of the campaign, she holds
entries in both the Group 1 Zaabeel Stakes over six furlongs
and the Group 1 Hatta Mares Stakes over one-mile-two-furlongs
but on this evidence she holds major place claims for the Zaabeel.
Djeldor de Bozouls ran his usual game race and fought hard in
the final furlong but couldn’t catch the winner and finished
one-and-half lengths adrift. The Vertuous Crusader (Vert Olive
x Crusader’s Spirit (Sky Crusader))found this step down
to his optimum trip ideal but struggled against these proven
Group performers but wasn’t disgraced in finishing another
five lengths back in third.
