Click for the Racing Post chart or the free brisnet.com catalogue-style pedigree. One of Britain's up-and-coming fillies, Electrelane has shown marked improvement since finishing a well-beaten third behind stable companion Moonstone Magic (GB) (Trade Fair {GB}) on only her third career start in the seven-furlong G3 Fred Darling S. at Newbury on her sophomore bow Apr. 21. Pulling clear of the remainder along with Laugh Out Loud (GB) (Clodovil {Ire}) when second in the Listed Michael Seely Memorial S. over this trip at York last time May 18, her chances looked vastly more favorable after that rival had won the G2 Prix de Sandringham earlier in the afternoon and the Dusseldorf faithful took the hint. Always prominent on the inside here, the bay was pushed into a narrow lead at the top of the stretch and held on gamely under a drive to withstand Cherry Danon's persistent challenge.
