What happened in the Albany Stakes last year?
PORTA FORTUNA arrived with a Group 3 win already under her belt, something that none of her rivals could boast. She and the runner-up Matrika both raced in the larger group, which was positioned centre-to-far side and contained the best of the pace. Soprano back in third made a winning debut at the Guineas meeting and stepped up on that form, doing best of the half-dozen who raced in her group.
