Queen Jessiej was just three spots off the Swindon 476m record when landing the fastest second round heat of the 74th British Bred 2yr Old Produce Stakes.
Showing the benefit of a previous sighting of the new circuit, the daughter of Leamaneigh Turbo has secured an ideal draw in the semis and will be fancied to make her third Cat 1 final.
The McNair and Hutton kennels will supply 10 of the 18 semi finalists, with all five of the Hutton runners coming from the same Taylor Sky/Terminator litter. Only Taranaki was eliminated and the remaining quintet still have only 30 races between them.
