Doom²⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 82

6/4

Bred in the purple and improved with each run at 2 yrs, finding only subsequent Oaks winner Soul Sister too good in 1m maiden at Doncaster (heavy) on final outing in October. Sets the standard and should have more to come this year.

9/1

Well-bred sort who stepped up on her debut form when second of 8 in minor event at this course (7f, good) 36 days ago, despite being caught further back than ideal. Open to further progress.

Form: 9-2

Forecasts

Whispering Words (11/10), Doom (6/4), Resonance (9/1), Queen Of The Pride (14/1), Imperial Quarter (20/1), Venus Rosewater (20/1), Purple Love (28/1), Pivotal Dance (66/1), Rapallo (66/1), Double Tot (200/1), Miss Billie (200/1)

DOOM was beaten only a head by subsequent Oaks winner Soul Sister at Doncaster on her final 2-y-o outing and, with better still to come this year given her exceptional pedigree, she gets the nod to open her account. Whispering Words is a well-made filly who seems sure to leave her debut form well behind, while Imperial Quarter makes most appeal of the newcomers before market clues.
