MISS FASCINATOR strides nicely clear at Ascot to get her career off the mark at the third attempt.

The two-year-old daughter of Mehmas was a 72,000gns Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up buy this year for connections the Newsells park Stud Ardiles, Brazil & Hoddle Racing Syndicate. She made a pleasing debut at Newmarket last month, coming half a length second, but she wasn't to settle for silver accolades in today's 6f contest, striding well clear under Silvestre de Sousa to shed her maiden tag readily.

Congratulations to connections.
