Cost €170,000, but has not lived up to that purchase price in starts at Wolverhampton and Kempton this spring. Kept on last time, however, and far too soon to be writing her off.
Promise on her Newmarket debut in October, but was slowly into stride, pulled hard and faded the following month behind subsequent 1,000 Guineas third Daban at Kempton. Started favourite that day and obviously has ability so has to be of interest.
Not much to shout about on her two starts so far, but it is early days and she may be more effective when sent handicapping.
A 30,000 guineas yearling who finished last of 11 at this track on debut in October, 2016. More encouragement over C&D last month, but looks a long-term prospect.
Half-brother to two AW winners who was nearest at the finish when fourth of nine on her debut at Brighton in October. This looks a stronger race, but she has promise and is not dismissed.
Excelebration sister to a couple of winning sprinters. Makes her debut and is likely to need the experience.
Runner-up at Kempton on her debut last October, she raced too keenly when last of six on her reappearance at Chelmsford last month. That was too bad to be true and there may have been something amiss, but she has something to prove for now.
Teofilio half-sister to five winners who shaped with promise on her debut at Haydock last month. She did not get the best of runs that day and was not knocked about so it would be no surprise to see that kindness repaid.
Sister to a 5f juvenile winner in France, she was seventh of nine to a promising sort at Catterick on her debut last month. Needs to step up on that considerably to take a hand.
Cost €200,000 as a yearling, she comes from a winning family and represents a yard with a history of producing decent 3yo fillies. Well worth considering if there is any market support.
Has beaten only two horses in two starts, so she clearly needs to up her game to be competitive in what looks a decent maiden.
After a promising debut at Newbury in October, she led 1f out before being collared and finishing second at Kempton the following month. Has to be considered on that effort if fit enough on her return.
By no means disgraced when sixth of 10 in a Newmarket maiden last July. Has not been since so she may have had issues, but she needs to be respected if there is money for her.
By Street Cry out of a Galileo mare, she cost $300,000 as a two-year-old and has a middle-distance pedigree. She may need further in time, but this looks a good starting point and she is clearly interesting given the strength in depth of her stable.
Forecasts
Feint (9/4), Music Lesson (9/2), Maid To Remember (5/1), Street Marie (7/1), Alouja (8/1), Fairy Lights (14/1), Sasini (16/1), Al Jawza (20/1), Cribbs Causeway (20/1), Dancing Dragon (66/1), Exacting (66/1), Angel In Disguise (66/1), Mushareefa (100/1), Maid In Brittain (100/1)
A fillies' maiden featuring some interesting newcomers, not least Maid To Remember and Street Marie, but they may need the run and Alouja and FEINT make more appeal. The latter did not enjoy the best of passages on her Haydock debut, but showed plenty of promise and may improve enough to score.
- Feint
- Alouja
