Race 8 - Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (Grade 1)

Off time: 22:14 | Winning time: -

(1)

Living In The Past³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: D Tudhope| T: K R Burke| OR: 107

25/1

Group 2 winner at York in August but only fifth in a tougher race at Newmarket last time out. May do better over this longer trip and not one to rule out.

Form: 31315

(2)

Croughavouke²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Flavien Prat| T: Jeff Mullins| OR: 106

66/1

Maiden winner in Ireland but only runner-up in a pair of recent Listed races and she must improve to have a say here.

Form: 3122

(3)

Shadn²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Spencer| T: A M Balding| OR: 107

20/1

Group 2 winner at Maisons' Laffitte last time, adding to a Listed success earlier in the season. Best form has come on softer ground.

Form: 101331

(4)

Abscond⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Irad Ortiz Jr| T: Eddie Kenneally| OR: 97| D

20/1

Two wins from three starts and narrowly stayed on well enough to win a Grade 1 at Woodbine last time out. Returns to quicker ground but less exposed than most and may yet have more to give.

Form: 121

(5)

Daahyeh³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: W Buick| T: R Varian| OR: 108

7/2

Three wins from five starts and only narrowly denied in her previous Group 1 attempt at the Curragh. Got back on track with a game Group 2 success at Newmarket last time and can go well again.

Form: 11221

(6)

Unforgetable²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Wayne Lordan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 97

40/1

Just a maiden win at Fairyhouse to her name and while placed in a Group 3 next time out, she's not improved on that in two subsequent efforts.

Form: 31204

(7)

Crystalle³³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Joel Rosario| T: John Kimmel| OR: 89| BF| D

7/1

Improved from debut to win a Listed race at Saratoga and only narrowly denied in a Grade 2 at Belmont last time out; likely still on the up and can go well again.

Form: 312

(8)

Tango¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 103

14/1

Got her head back in front in heavy ground at Listed level last time but yet to show her best form on a quicker surface; others make more appeal.

Form: 966741

(9)

Albigna²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 114| D

4/1

Recovered from a blip at the Curragh to win a French Group 1 in fine style on Arc day. Could be ahead of these judged on that form and she's the one to beat if she handles the quick ground.

Form: 1161

(10)

Fair Maiden^b1⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Drayden Dyke Van| T: Eoin Harty| OR: 104| BF

14/1

Promising effort on debut prior to winning her next two starts including a Listed success at Woodbine. Ran with credit in Grade 1 company back at that venue last time when beaten just a neck; can go well again in first-time blinkers.

Form: 2113

(11)

Sharing⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Manuel Franco| T: H Motion| OR: 93| D

16/1

Arrives with just a maiden win to her name and she did that in impressive fashion. Step up in trip could suit (stamina on dam's side) but wide draw isn't ideal.

Form: 311

(12)

Sweet Melania²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Jose Ortiz| T: Todd Pletcher| OR: 89| D

6/1

Made it two wins from five starts in a Grade 2 at Keeneland last time out. won with plenty in hand that day and quite possible there's more to come.

Form: 33121

(13)

Selflessly³³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Javier Castellano| T: Chad Brown| OR: 90| D

8/1

Improved from debut to win a Grade 2 at Belmont last time out when getting the better of Crystalle. More needed here, particularly from this wide draw but entirely unexposed.

Form: 21

(14)

Etoile³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: L Dettori| T: A P O'Brien

16/1

Won a Group 3 on debut at Naas but couldn't build on that when well beaten in a Newmarket Group 1 last time out. Booking of Dettori a plus but wide draw is off-putting.

Form: 18

Forecasts

Daahyeh (7/2), Albigna (4/1), Sweet Melania (6/1), Crystalle (7/1), Selflessly (8/1), Tango (14/1), Fair Maiden (14/1), Sharing (16/1), Etoile (16/1), Shadn (20/1), Abscond (20/1), Living In The Past (25/1), Unforgetable (40/1), Croughavouke (66/1)

There was plenty to like about ALBIGNA's win last time out in the Marcel Boussac and the filly still gives the impression she remains capable of better. Daahyeh is a threat having won with a gutsy effort when dropped in class last time out. Living In The Past could be the each-way angle in to the race from a handy draw.
