Ralph Beckett with his winning fillies Saqqara Sands and Tabiti (PA)<\/p>\nTabiti was among the leading contenders for the Group Three contest at 9-2 and with blinkers applied for a second time, the three-year-old set out to make all the running in the hands of Ryan Moore.<\/p>\n
Saqqara Sands, a much bigger price at 16-1 under Rossa Ryan, emerged from the pack as the biggest threat inside the final furlong and while she briefly managed to poke her head in front, Tabiti battled back and the Ralph Beckett-trained pair passed the post as one.<\/p>\n
Bright Thunder, the 7-2 favourite, was only half a length further behind in third.<\/p>\n

Beckett said: \u201cI\u2019ve definitely never done that before. They are two really tough fillies. This race can be a bit of a bun fight, I recall Roger\u2019s (Varian) filly (Jabaara) being taken down last year (demoted to second from first place).<\/p>\n
\u201cSaqqara Sands worked very well at the weekend and I thought she was over priced, while it looked like Tabiti had gone west on us after the Fillies\u2019 Mile.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe mile is probably OK for Tabiti, but I\u2019m not sure the other filly wants it. I\u2019ve yet to work out their trips but hey, it\u2019s been an enjoyable day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ryan, who saw his big Tuesday hope Kinross withdrawn at the start before the Lennox Stakes, said: \u201cThat was mad. I just couldn\u2019t quite get past Tabiti. I thought I\u2019d win but my head was up and his was down.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe stayed battling all the way to the line and it\u2019s good to get in the scoresheet after a disastrous day yesterday.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy filly is improving. She\u2019s going the right way and I think better on better ground.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bright Thunder\u2019s trainer Karl Burke was satisfied with third place and will keep an eye on conditions now as he seeks the next target.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI\u2019m as happy with that as you can be without winning.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s run a great race and looked like bolting up two out, but Ryan (Moore on Tabiti) got a freebie in front. If they\u2019d gone really hard or she\u2019d had a bit of a better draw, I think she\u2019d have been bang there.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s a progressive filly but she likes a bit of cut in the ground so August might be tricky, but hopefully we\u2019ll find a nice race for her in the autumn.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tabiti was among the leading contenders for the Group Three contest at 9-2 and with blinkers applied for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33540,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-33539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
