Low-mileage 4-yo filly who built on good efforts behind the smart Blue Bolt on first 2 starts this year when back to winning ways in 1m Ascot Group 3 (good to firm) last month. Has to carry a Group 3 penalty but still holds leading form claims.
|
Lightly-raced Dubawi mare who has useful form, finishing best of the as best of the rest behind Sparks Fly in Epsom Group 3 (8.5f, good to soft) on Derby day. Her absence since has presumably been to avoid quick ground (raced only on good or softer).
|
C&D handicap winner in the mud last season but below par on Wolverhampton reappearance in April and absent again since. Has plenty to find on form at this level.
|
Has shown she can be competitive at listed level on a couple of occasions this year but has something to finding now returning to Group company.
|
Won the Group 3 Oh So Sharp at Newmarket on her final 2-y-o outing and improved again to see off the reopposing Pacific Mission by 1¼ lengths in 1m Haydock listed race on reappearance 3 weeks ago. Almost certainly more to come but any ease in the ground would be an unknown (raced on good or firmer).
|
Progressive form, following Windsor maiden success with an excellent length second of 10 to Fortuna Diamond in listed race at Longchamp (1m, good) 12 weeks ago. Returns with her yard among the winners.
|
Smart and improved efforts when reaching the frame in Group 1s at Royal Ascot (2 lengths fourth to Precise) and Deauville (2¼ lengths third to Blue Bolt) this summer. Likely to be bang there with her sights lowered slightly.
|
Ended her 2-y-o season when excellent seconds in Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' Turf at Del Mar. Back in that sort of form when 1¼ lengths second of 10 to Calendar Girl in listed race at Haydock (1m, good to firm) 21 days ago.
|
Out of a smart Group 3 winner and fast on her way to becoming as good herself, taking her career record to 3-3 when making all in C&D listed race (good to firm; has also won on soft) at the Eclipse meeting.
|
Won maiden at Newmarket (1m, good) and novice at Ascot (1m, good to firm) this spring and shaped well when 1½ lengths second of 7 to Lilt in listed race at the York Dante meeting (1m, good) in May. Given a break since. Surprise if this strong traveller has reached her limit after only 4 starts.

Forecasts
Kon Tiki (3/1), Calendar Girl (10/3), Moon Target (7/2), Secret Of Life (4/1), So Regal (8/1), Noche Clasica (14/1), Pacific Mission (18/1), Love Dynasty (33/1), Cap Santa Lucia (80/1), Maeva (150/1)
A competitive Group 3. SECRET OF LIFE has made rapid progress and is taken to make it 4-4 but there are a few potential big threats to her unbeaten record, namely Kon Tiki, Moon Target, who has been holding her own in Group 1s, Calendar Girl and So Regal.
- Kon Tiki3/1
