Precise sprang a surprise, swooping late to topple better-fancied stablemate Composing and the previously unbeaten British visitor Venetian Sun.

All the pre-race chatter pointed to Composing—the Silver Flash and Debutante heroine—as the standout of Aidan O’Brien’s trio, sent off the even-money favourite. Meanwhile, Venetian Sun, already an Albany, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prix Morny winner, was a 5-2 chance to hand Karl Burke a remarkable fourth success of the weekend.

Soumillon and Composing dictated matters early, with Beautify slotting in as closest pursuer as the two-furlong marker loomed. Behind them, Precise bided her time alongside Venetian Sun, who soon found herself locked away in traffic just as the tempo lifted.

Ronan Whelan, spotting daylight out wide, angled Precise into the clear and unleashed a decisive turn of foot. In the final furlong, she surged past Beautify to score by three-quarters of a length, while Venetian Sun never found top gear and could only manage third, a length and three-quarters further adrift. Composing, despite the run of the race from the front, faded tamely into fourth—a disappointing finish for the hot favourite.
