Alpha Centauri earned the highest rating of these in her first season, twice beating Actress at Naas before runner-up in the Albany Stakes. She started favourite for the Moyglare on testing ground at the Curragh but found a trio of Ballydoyle fillies, headed by Happily, too good for her. I Can Fly looked to have every chance when only third in the Group 3 Oh So Sharp at Newmarket but much better is expected this campaign and Ryan Moore rides, though it wouldn't be a shock to see Wayne Lordan ride another winner for the yard via SARROCCHI. A daughter of Galileo, she made an impressive debut in a maiden here in October and can upset a couple of her better-fancied stable companions. Yulong Gold Fairy made great strides when tackling testing going and, though taking on much better class, can get into the action while Who's Steph looked a nice prospect when storming clear on ground with some give at Naas in October.
