ANAREAM
7/4 ch f Dream Ahead - Analytical (Lethal Force)
Owner: Stuart Goodwin & Christopher Vasey Sales price: 19,000gns (Jack Jones Racing)

Half-sister to fairly useful 5f 3yo winner Circus Lion (80). Dam an unraced half-sister to triple 5f Listed winner Tis Marvellous (118) and Listed-placed multiple 6f winner Mythmaker (111).

“This filly is owned by a couple of loyal supporters. She is doing everything right and will run towards the end of the summer with the October Auction sales race at Newmarket in October in mind. She has plenty of size and does everything really nicely.”

BAHIA BONITA
2/3 b f Time Test - Bahia Star (Twilight Son)
Owner: BB Bloodstock Sales price: n/a

Second foal of a 1m 3yo winner (72) who was a close relation to Listed-placed Polish 11f 3yo winner Brioniya (102) and a half-sister to 1m Group 2 winner Beshaayir (110) and half-sister to useful multiple 6-7f winner Kaeso (107) out of a 6f/1m Listed winner (109).

“A lovely filly who came to us in March. She comes from a good family and I adore Time Test, albeit he doesn’t get the support he deserves. This is a sharp, straightforward filly who will be one to be getting on with. All being well, she will debut in late June/early July.”

BALLISTY (IRE)
8/3 b c Lucky Vega - Grande Vadrouille (Smart Strike)
Owner: Nawaf Sari Almutairi Sales price: £32,000 (Richard Venn)

Second foal of a fairly useful French triple 1m winner (85) who was the daughter of a Listed-placed French 7f 3yo winner (97).

“This colt had always shown up well from an early stage and posted a highly encouraging debut effort at Goodwood, where he was giving weight to the two that beat him. A step up to six furlongs will suit and he goes to Newmarket on Friday (May 15) for a valuable restricted contest. He should take a nice step forward.”
