Verdict
Library earned top rating here after an excellent run behind stablemate Savethelastdance in the Oaks at the Curragh. However, Ryan Moore prefers Boogie Woogie, who couldn't quite see off Ottery in a Chantilly Group 3 last time. SHAMIDA had Library behind in a Leopardstown Group 3 last time and, though that was over 1m6f, she'd won over this trip on the same track earlier and can complete a hat-trick. Dancing Tango looks best of the older fillies having followed a handicap double over 1m2f with a neck defeat in a Clairefontaine Listed contest over this trip.
