This represents a good opportunity for ISLAND HOPPING to belatedly and deservedly add to her 2-y-o maiden success at Gowran last September. She was a solid third in the Irish Oaks on her penultimate start before going down narrowly to a progressive filly in a Group 3 at Cork. Cheeky Wink has done nothing wrong this season and she merits respect, along with La Isla Mujeres and Lemsairbat and Romzina, while the unexposed Ledecky also needs a mention.
