Mittens (1/1), Avant Nous (3/1), Gifted (3/1), Noli Timere (9/2), Matrice (6/1), Adrienne (7/1), Sharpen (14/1), Crystal Ball (16/1), Marzanda (100/1), Le Fleur Princess (100/1), Nancee Spain (100/1), Ethereal Star (300/1)

MITTENS made a solid start to her career when runner-up in a Naas maiden and she is taken to go one better here. Next on the list is Noli Timere but newcomer Gifted will naturally be interesting if the market speaks in her favour. Avant Nous and Matrice are others to consider.
