In depth
Verdict
Excelia cost €100,000 as a yearling and is a full-sister to 6f winner In The Spotlight. DRUNK IN LOVE is closely related to six winners, most of them sprinters. She cost €90,000 and gets the nod though Queen Of Cartes cost €100,000 and is by Kingman out of an unraced mare from a top family. Jessica Harrington is in good form and It's Showtime Baby is a very speedily-bred daughter of Showcasing out of a 6f winner. The market should prove the best guide to the chances of the remainder.
