Laureate Stakes when Mclisande beat the favorite High Private in a drive For sythe substituted High Private for lion llomine the overnight entry from the stable but the scheme did not work so well as it did earlier in the meeting when Ion Ilomme was added to take the place of High Private and won Melisande was in front throughout though put to a sharp drive to win by less than a length High
