Godolphin-raced colt Roosevelt staged a promising effort in winning here on debut. He began well, settled nicely in third place, tracking the leaders who were travelling at a good tempo. He moved up well on straightening, dashed to the front at the 200m and then fought back to score nicely. Alan Denham-trained filly Lilith settled in eighth place, improved to fourth at the home turn and caught the eye with a late-closing (half neck) second.
