Song all set to hit the right note at York

Final Song’s prospects for the Duke of York Clipper Logistics Stakes appear decent on day one of the Dante Festival.

Saeed bin Suroor’s filly appears to have found her niche.

Tried over seven furlongs and a mile last term, Final Song cut little ice – but, moved back to sprint trips in Dubai over the winter, the daughter of Dark Angel snapped a losing run that stretched back over a year.

She hit the mark in a Group Three contest at Meydan, with the useful Acklam Express back in third, before switching up to the highest level for the Al Quoz Sprint on World Cup night.

Ultimately she found American runner Extravagant Kid half a length too good but it was still a decent effort and Final Song is open to plenty of improvement in the sprinting sphere.
