Verdict
PRETTY GORGEOUS has to be the form pick on her victory in the Fillies' Mile on soft ground where she had Mother Earth in third. The latter has proved herself at the highest level subsequently and had Fev Rover just over a length behind in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. Richard Fahey's filly won't mind the conditions and looks certain to give a good account while Joan Of Arc is progressing nicely though it won't be easy to make all here as she did in the trial for this at Leopardstown. Miss Amulet had a tremendous first season and was only a neck behind Mother Earth when they occupied the places in the Breeders' Cup Fillies' Turf. No Speak Alexander is fit from her Group 3 victory here though was behind Fev Rover in a Group 2 on very testing ground at Deauville.
