Well Done Mr Johnston

Mark Johnston got off the mark for this year's Glorious Goodwood meeting when Eastern Aria ran out a comfortable winner of the Moet Hennessy Fillies' Stakes.

Richard Hills took up the running early in the straight on the 16-1 shot, who won a handicap at the meeting last season off a mark of 88, and the result never looked in doubt.

Polly's Mark gave chase, but the winning distance was two and three-quarter lengths, with a further two and a half lengths back to Motrice in third. Eastern Aria also broke the course record over a mile and six furlongs.
