She definitely wasn't unlucky, the other horse ran strong fractions and kept kicking.
Her run clearly levels off.
Another thing to remember is that it was a Group 1 handicap and she was very well weighted carrying 3.5 kilos less than an immature but developing 4 year old.
If it had been WFA, Politeness would have had only 0.5kg less.
You only get 1 chance with light weights in these handicaps and she had hers.
The mile clearly sees her out too and that was evident in how her run peaked.
They could have gone another 200 metres and she still would have got beaten.
