Lumiere Rock is top-rated here after her victory in a Group 3 at the Curragh. She was conceding Keep In Touch 6lb when beaten half-a-length in a 7f maiden at Galway in September but both are up against some less exposed types. Shane Foley's presence suggests Thurles maiden winner Foniska is more forward than stablemate Village Voice while Ryan Moore rides JACKIE OH rather than Diamondsareforever. The latter is interesting as she is a very rare acquisition for Ballydoyle after winning a Dundalk maiden under Seamie Heffernan for Willie Browne though it's the former who gets the vote. She showed a very good attitude to beat her more experienced stablemate and subsequent winner Red Riding Hood at Naas and can justify her Oaks entry.
