FAIRY GODMOTHER away at the tail of the field without incident, chased along the inside coming under a ride just inside five-sixteenths remaining, angled four wide into upper stretch, tipped out an additional path or two with three-sixteenths to go and closed well outside to overthrow the front inside the final seventy yards and inched away to the finish under her momentum to the wire.
