+TOP HAT KITTEN (c, 3, Kitten's Joy–Hibiscus Queen {Ire}, by Danzig) settled off the pace towards the rear for most of this unveiling. Inching ever closer on the sweeping home turn, the 25-1 outsider was nudged along for his challenge approaching the final quarter mile and kept on relentlessly under a drive once taking over with 300 metres remaining to score by four lengths from Incitator (Fr) (Motivator {GB}). The $70,000 KEESEP yearling, who hails from the family of G1 Irish 1000 Guineas victress Trusted Partner (Affirmed), is a half-brother to a yearling filly by Tizway. His dam Hibiscus Queen was bred to Magician (Ire) last year. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €12,500.
