Verdict
Emotional Dream's second to Quest For Peace at Leopardstown was a cracking effort and Kevin Prendergast should have little trouble placing his Shirocco filly to good effect this season. But WONDER OF WONDERS has a list of top-class entries which suggest her failure to justify favouritism at Leopardstown last month was merely a minor blip. Aidan O'Brien's Kingmambo filly is from the same family as Galileo and Sea The Stars and some black type this year will be a minimum requirement - she gets the vote today. Picture Of Lily was third on her debut for William Knight at Lingfield in November but may be best watched on her first start for Jessie Harrington.
