Verdict
Thoughts Of June, by Galileo and a half-sister to a 1m4f winner, ran well in both starts over a mile in the autumn and will be much better suited by this trip. However, she was having her second start when fifth here in October, around a length behind debut-maker ABOVE THE CURVE, a daughter of American Pharoah out of a Galileo mare. Joseph O'Brien's filly gets the nod and she holds Red Azalea and Emily Dickinson on that run though the latter, by Dubawi out of an Irish Oaks winner, is expected to do very much better. Eyaziya is by Sea The Stars out of a mare who has produced winners with her first two foals while the 165,000gns yearling Star Angel is by the same sire.
