Soft Whisper set for step up in class after Chelmsford win
Filly continued good run for Saeed bin Suroor.
Soft Whisper gave punters plenty to shout about when making most of the running to land the Listed Louis Roederer Queen Charlotte Fillies’ Stakes at Chelmsford on Sunday. The Saeed bin Suroor-trained four-year-old was sent off the 13-8 favourite to follow up a win in an Ascot handicap last time out and was soon to the fore having pulled her way to the front in the early stages. Marco Ghiani allowed the Godolphin-owned winner to stride on and she put the race to bed when lengthening clear off the home bend. She recorded an official winning distance of a decreasing one-and-a-quarter lengths from runner-up Bounce The Blues, who was unable to reel in the victor.Proper performance from Soft Whisper, who fairly trounces a strong field to take Listed honours in the @LouisRoederer_ Queen Charlotte Fillies’ Stakes @ChelmsfordCRC ⭐️@godolphin | @linusghiani99 pic.twitter.com/DUMffeFBBa

It was the third time Soft Whisper has prevailed at Listed level and her trainer suggested Group races will now be on the agenda for the daughter of Dubawi, who he thinks is perfect for seven-furlong assignments. “She is doing good and came into the race in good condition. She was in good form and she is improving,” said Bin Suroor. “She was a little bit keen early, but she settled after that and I think seven furlongs is a good trip for her.
