The Qatar Racing Limited-owned Mise En Scene remains unbeaten after a game success in the Group 3 Tote Prestige Stakes, a seven-furlong contest for two-year-old fillies, at Goodwood yesterday. Trained by James Ferguson, the bay filly added to her debut success at Haydock and now remains unbeaten in two career starts, both the same distance. Ridden by Oisin Murphy, the filly was smartly away and was settled against the rail behind early leaders Daneh and Value Theory. As the paced steadied, Mise En Scene travelled a shaded keenly, but was always well placed. On entering the home straight, Value Theory came under pressure and Mise En Scene was asked to close on Daneh. The latter held a two-length advantage inside the final 400m as Mise En Scene was switched off the rail and began to close. Inside the final 200m, Mise En Scene still had a length to find, but finished strongly and headed Daneh in the final strides going on to score by a neck. Prosperous Voyage stayed on well for third. Bred by The Gadfly Partnership, Mise En Scene is by Siyouni. Her dam Gadfly was unraced, but is a half-sister to Group One 1000 Guineas winner Speciosa. Mise En Scene holds entries in both the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket on September 24 and the Group 1 Fillies Mile at Newmarket, as well, on October 8.
