After a break of two months, Aqaarid was moved up sharply in class and distance for the Group One Fillies' Mile at Ascot. She started the 11/2 third choice in the betting behind the Prestige Stakes winner Pure Grain and the Mark Johnston-trained Jural who had won the Sweet Solera Stakes in England and the Futurity Stakes in Ireland. The best fancied of the other six runners was Dance A Dream, a maiden race winner who went on to take the Cheshire Oaks. Aqaarid was restrained by Carson before turning into the straight in fourth place behind the outsiders Snowstorm, Miasma and Musetta. She began to make progress in the last quarter mile, overtook Snowstorm inside the final furlong and won by half a length from the fast-finishing Jural. Snowstorm was three quarters of a length away in third ahead of Pure Grain and Musetta.
