Amelia Earhart

11/8

Foaled March 22. Camelot filly. Sister to smart winner up to 18.6f Cleveland and half-sister to useful 7f winner Asad. Possibly the top stable first string on jockey bookings but the betting will reveal more.

Forecasts

Amelia Earhart (11/8), Phenomenal Filly (5/2), La Fogata (9/2), Thenandnow (8/1), River Ara (11/1), Tahcawin (18/1), Matilda Joslyngage (66/1), Star Of Tara (300/1)

PHENOMENAL FILLY is the percentage call on the back of her encouraging debut at the Curragh a couple of weeks ago but strong market support behind one or more of the newcomers, notably Aidan O'Brien pair Amelia Earhart and/or River Ara, would put a different slant on things.
