Verdict
Slick Chick couldn't go the early pace behind Meditate over the minimum at the Curragh but stayed on nicely and had Slaney Tide well behind. The winner's yard is represented by DENEUVE, by No Nay Never and the first foal of a very speedy Group 3 winner. She gets the nod though La Dolce Vita is by Caravaggio out of a mare from the family of the high-class Beethoven. Nituna is another with a speedy pedigree and Matilda Picotte is related to several winners.
