LAST month’s Thornbird Stakes exposed the favourites’ stamina limitations past six and a half furlongs, TAYLOR MADE, ANOTHER WOW, and VICTORIOUS LINKS going at each other, before DREAM CATCHER mowed them down in the stretch run at seven furlongs.

Outsped by stablemate TAYLOR MADE at six furlongs in the Hotline Stakes, DREAM CATCHER enjoyed the additional furlong and quicker pace being set for her in the Thornbird, able to relax while ANOTHER WOW did the pressing with VICTORIOUS LINKS keeping the leaders honest.

Asked to run coming off the turn, DREAM CATCHER overhauled ANOTHER WOW a furlong out and won going away by two and a quarter lengths in 1:27.2, the quickest time recorded at the trip by any three-year-old filly so far this season, and Sunday's  seven and a half furlongs Portmore Stakes is the ideal distance.
