Bara Lacha^p1¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara

9/2

Modest form. 12/1, well-held third of 11 in C&D novice (good to soft) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Vulnerable to newcomers with potential.

Miss Brazen

3/1

Foaled April 16. £8,000 Brazen Beau half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1m Tadleel and 5f-6f winner Second Collection. Trainer has very strong hand with 2-y-o fillies this year so market confidence behind this one would look very significant.

Stephenie's Saga³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

11/1

14/1, last of 6 in maiden at Ayr (5f, good) on debut 35 days ago. Will need to take a big step forward.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Miss Brazen (3/1), Nashur (3/1), Bara Lacha (9/2), Desert Illusion (6/1), Great City (8/1), Stephenie's Saga (11/1), Gutsy Lady (14/1), Aurora Glory (16/1), Equity's Darling (25/1), Queenmambo (66/1)

It's likely newcomers will dominate. Karl Burke 2-y-o fillies have been carrying all before them this spring so MISS BRAZEN gets the vote, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Nashur and Desert Illusion are other likely types on paper in a contest where the market is sure to provide more clues.
