Italian Win For Nayarra

Mick Channon's Nayarra won the Group One Premio Gran Criterium in Italy on Sunday. The two year old filly was having her ninth start of the campaign and still searching for her maiden success in the mile contest. The daughter of Cape Cross broke her duck in style, prevailing by half a length from the favourite, Rosa Eglantaria, under Martin Dwyer. Nayarra had finished third on each of her two previous outings in the Group Three Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket and in Listed company behind Bronterre at Goodwood.
