The once raced Minzelle was highlighted in the Royal Ascot Update as a juvenile to keep an eye on in the coming weeks. The daughter of Minzaal had shown a lot of speed over six furlongs on her debut at Haydock last month before tiring late on in third.

Encountering quick ground and returning to ...
