Progressive Diva dances to cosy success for Stoute

Mango Diva gave Michael Stoute a second Denny Cordell Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Fillies Stakes win in five years with a cosy success in the Group Three event at Gowran yesterday.

Ave struck for the Newmarket trainer in 2009 and Mango Diva continued her progression after landing a Listed race at Salisbury last month.

Last year’s winner Aloof made the running until two furlongs out where Uleavemebreathless came with a strong run that looked like prevailing but it was covered by Johnny Murtagh on Mango Diva.
