Complete guesswork here with 17 unraced fillies due to head to post; Champagne Lifestyle, Duty And Destiny and Montelissima give Montjeu a strong representation, however it is MAGNIFICENCE, a daughter of Sadler's Wells who is preferred. Plenty of very interesting pedigrees here, including Gift Of Love who is a daughter of first season sire Azamour. From limited data his progeny look to be fairly precocious and she looks a player merely on that front. However Magnificence, a half-sister to six winners and out of a mare who was a juvenile winner, looks an obvious player and with speed on her dam's side she could take this race. Champagnelifestyle represents Barry Hills and she is of interest, although her pedigree suggests that she may need some time and a longer trip. Duty And Destiny represents Brian Meehan; when he has a juvenile winner they are often well-backed so it is worth watching the betting with this 180,000 Euros purchase. Dyna Waltz is out of a top-class mare in Valentine Waltz, a French 1000 Guineas winner, and represents top connections, whilst Qaraaba is a daughter of Shamardal and her trainer has been having more success with his batch of two-year-old's, although again, like many in the line-up, she is likely to need further in time. Red Amy is from a family that have done better at three, Romancea is an interesting US-bred filly who cost $400,000 and is a bit more speedily-bred than some of her rivals. Of the rest Snoqualmie Star needs a mention as a half-sister to Snoqualmie Girl and Snoqualmie Boy from a family her trainer knows well, however it is Magnificence who can live up to her name.
