4.45 Alwasmiyah Pretty Polly Stakes (Group 1) 1m 2f
Fleeting: High-class filly who ran a host of good races at the highest level last term including when placed in both the Oaks and Irish Oaks.
A recent comeback second in the Mooresbridge should leave her in good shape for this and, while more is required, she looks the chief danger to her stablemate Magical.
Magical: Outstanding multiple Group 1-winning filly who looked better than ever last season when winning both the Irish and English Champion Stakes.
In the latter event she accounted for the emerging Group 1 star Addeybb and her form is much the strongest on offer.
Even though she might be vulnerable on her first start of the year, she is still hard to oppose and she was able to win first time out last season.
True Self: Formerly classy jumping mare who has emerged as a quality sort on the flat with four stakes race victories between 1m 2f and 1m 6f over the last two seasons.
On ratings she has work to do and possibly she is at her best over further, but it wouldn’t come as any surprise to see her give a good account of herself.
Cayenne Pepper: Emerged as a high-class juvenile last term when winning her first three races which included a Group 3 success over a mile at this track.
Ended the season with a respectable fourth in the Fillies’ Mile and is probably better than she showed there.
She always looked like one that could prosper over middle distances as a three-year-old and she warrants respect from a yard which has started the season in tremendous form.
Roca Roma: Promising twice-raced filly who followed up the considerable promise of her debut second at Leopardstown late last season with a straightforward comeback triumph in a Gowran Park maiden last week.
This contest is going to demand far more though and, at this stage, she might find a few of these too strong.
Verdict
The brilliant Magical might be vulnerable on her first run of the season but her overall form puts her on a different level to these opponents and she can see off stablemate Fleeting who is good enough to win at this level. She could be dangerous with the benefit of a recent comeback.
