In depth
Verdict
SNOWFALL is by top Japan sire Deep Impact out of a Group 3 winner from the family of Arc winner Found. She doesn't have quite the speed in her pedigree as stable companion Mother Earth but this is a stiff track and she can make a winning start. Sola Luna is related to six winners, most of them smart, but her stablemate Sense Of Style has a stouter pedigree. Frenetic cost 170,000gns and is a half-sister to a useful sprinter in the USA while Giuliana is a half-sister to two winning sprinters. The latter's stable is also represented by No Speak Alexander, a E190,000 yearling with a very speedy pedigree who is definitely one for the shortlist.
