Verdict
PURSUITOFTHESTARS may never justify her 320,000gns price tag but she ran well enough in her three starts over 7f last term, especially when fourth in a major sales event at Newmarket in October, to suggest she should get off the mark over this more suitable trip. Celestra made a very good impression when just failing to catch Golden Chapter over the course and distance on her debut in February where she wasn't subjected to a hard ride. She will almost certainly make major strides for the experience and looks a threat. Capricious Cantor was going on nicely at the finish over a mile at Chelmsford so this longer trip is certain to suit while Summer Collection, who wasn't far behind, should also come on considerably for the run.
