Ran to just a modest level in 2 Dundalk maidens last November. Makes turf debut on return and is probably one for handicaps.

Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to smart 9.4f-11f winner Starford and 1m-11f winner Jack Sparowe. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7.3f winner). Has plenty of stamina in her pedigree but is worth a second look on debut for top yard.

Blue Point filly. Closely related to useful 1m winner Embiran and half-sister to 3 winners, including 1m-1¼m winner Elamaz and 2-y-o 1m winner Emaniya, both useful. Yard's newcomers always need respecting.

€100,000 foal, Lope De Vega filly. Half-sister to 1½m winner Ledecky. Dam, 1m winner who stayed 1½m, closely related to useful 11f-15f winner Fortunino. Quite a costly filly and may be one for time and distance.

Showed fairly useful form as a juvenile but has long been used a pacemaker. Drops back into a maiden but appeals as vulnerable for win purposes.

Verdict

A case of quantity over quality in this fillies maiden. NAUTIC STAR has shown enough to land a race of this nature and can finally open her account. The Joseph O'Brien pair Never The Same and newcomer Acula must be taken seriously, with Emiza another debutant to monitor in the market
