Rizeena took a tracking trip behind the leaders to score at odds of 11-2. She took the lead with a furlong to go and was never threatened winning by three quarters of a length. Lesstalk In Paris was held up during the race and only began to run in the final furlong. She was never going to catch the winner, but got up by a head to capture second place at 15-2. Euro Charline also tracked the leaders but did not have much room until the final furlong. She managed to find room and founder herself a head short of second place at odds of 16-1.

Queen's Vase (Listed)

Race five on the Royal Ascot card was the Queen's Vase. The race was for 3 year olds at two miles on the good-to-firm turf course. 10 runners took part in the race.

It was a close finish between fast closing Century and Hartnell as they hit the wire, but Hartnell got the wire in time after hanging badly in the stretch. Hartnell won by a neck at odds of 7-2 over the O'Brien duo's Century, who was 5-1. The top two did come together in the stretch, but the stewards did not buy the argument that the bump cost Century the victory. Marzocco was up close throughout but had nothing in the final furlong to match the top two. Marzocco finished third as the 11-8 favorite, a length and three quarters behind Century.

Mark Johnston trains Hartnell while Joe Fanning rode the three year old colt to victory. The running time was 3:24.73 for the two mile race.
