Feminista had looked a certain future winner after her runs over the minimum at Naas and Navan but found Group 3 company much too hot on the former track last time. She looks vulnerable to an improver or newcomer and there are plenty of those here. A NEW DAWN made an excellent debut in what looked a very strong fillies' maiden at the Curragh. She's owned by Coolmore as are a trio of Aidan O'Brien-trained newcomers, all by Galileo, but that experience may just give her the edge. Blissful is a full-sister to six winners and half-sister to three others, many of them at Group level. Love is closely related to five winners, most of them at around this trip, while Petite Mustique, who cost a whopping E1.1m, is the fourth foal of a mare who has already produced Group 1 winner Johannes Vermeer and Group 2 winner Elizabeth Browning. Jessica Harrington's yard is in full flow so Cayenne Pepper, who cost 195,000gns and is a half-sister to three winners, shouldn't be underestimated.
