Goolagong Girl is the most exposed and looks up against it opposed by representatives of three powerful yards. The newcomer Brandybend is the first foal of a French 1000 Guineas winner while Martlet was beaten only a length at Leicester on her debut in September. BISHARA made her racecourse debut in a stronger maiden at Newmarket in November and though failing to threaten, Sir Michael Stoute's filly finished behind a subsequent winner and should appreciate this longer trip.
