Qazyna, who was a major eye-catcher when third on debut over a mile at Yarmouth in October, attracted strong support into 6-4 favouritism and travelled strongly in second. Cruising to the front with over two furlongs remaining, the homebred was allowed to ease her way downhill and when asked to stretch by Andrea Atzeni powered away to win impressively by 3 1/2 lengths from Feline Groovy (Kitten’s Joy). Award Winning (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), the 720,000gns TATFOA half-sister to Royal Bench (Ire) (Whipper), Memphis Tennessee (Ire) (Hurricane Run {Ire}) and Mayhem (Ire) (Whipper), was slowly away and never threatened in sixth. The useful winning dam, who has so far produced four black-type performers headed by the G2 Zipping Classic winner Au Revoir (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}) and MSW and MGSP Perfect Stride (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), was bought as an important part of the dispersal of the historic Bloomsbury Stud by Charlie Gordon-Watson for 1.1million gns for Nurlan Bizakov at the 2010 Tattersalls December Sale. The second dam is the Queen Mary S. and Cornwallis S. winner Pushy, a half-sister to the Japan Cup winner Jupiter Island (GB) and G2 Gimcrack S.-winning sire Precocious (GB) whose daughter Myself (GB) (Nashwan) captured the G3 Nell Gwyn S. This excellent family also features the G2 Duke of York S. winner Glass Office (GB) (Verglas {Ire}) and another Nell Gwyn scorer in Thrilling Day (GB) (Groom Dancer), who also took the GIII Jenny Wiley S. First’s 2-year-old filly by Mastercraftsman (Ire) is named Qamka (GB). Unraced in Great BritaiLifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $10,132.
