    Looks a decent race anyone got any fancies?

    Am really looking forward to seeing this race as have had a little go on Maoineach e/w @ 25-1 for the 1000 guineas. Todays soft ground and an early 1mile trip may not be up her street right now, and so am not overly fussed if she wins today as still think she will be a nice sort for the guineas. Not many can win group 3s on debut.

    There is also Fabres COPPERBEACH, Moyglare winner AGAIN and Royer Dupres PILL.

    A very nice fillies contest.

    I think Again might be vulnerable to something with a turn of foot in this race.Elle Lellouche has a nice filly in Palme Royale that has won over the course and trip already,14/1 with Coral looks overpriced

    There is a swagger of fillies coming into this race off conditions events over the distance, course or both. It’s a very tough race.

    Rainbow View is the leading 2YO filly in Europe by 2-3 lengths IMO. A peloton follows next. I’m not a fan of Again and like FrankLucas has mentioned, anything nippy or classy will get the upper edge.

    Proportional was incredibly classy. I’m a little concerned next to nothing from the rear made ground, but this filly sat near to the speed, quickened very briskly and stayed on just as well.

    A future Prix de Diane and maybe an Arc filly?

    Keeping future predictions at bay, I was impressed.

    Pasquier rode a good race on Proportional, breaking well and getting near the front rank early.After making up the ground she did at the end maybe Plumania is the one to take out of the race after the winner.She looked as if she had a difficult enough time of it early on,maybe due to her draw,early speed is possibly an issue though as Copperbeach was drawn beside her and was well on the speed early,although she too dropped to mid div after those wider came across.The race turned out to be a total non event for the Irish.
