Maybe, The Fugue and Vow dominate this race. Maybe on her unbeaten two year old form, The Fugue on her impressive Guineas fourth and follow up victory in the Musidora and Vow on a win in the Lingfield Oaks Trial.
Maybe, who went through the gears easily as a juvenile from Group 3 to Group 1, gets the ground in her favour as will be the case for The Fugue. In The Musidora The Fugue stretched out having no difficulty putting 4 1/2 L between herself and Twirl. We don’t know about it for Vow as her trial was on Lingfield’s standard all weather surface and her one run as a two year old was on the soft. Greenness was the feature when hanging in the straight but ability pulled her through. How much of it she has, we’ll find out here.
No mount for Frankie Dettori as Mickael Barzalona takes the Godolphin ride on Kailani. She won at listed level by 7 L, something bettered by Kissed who won by 8 1/2 also in listed company. This is a feat that neither Shirocco Star or Colima could manage as both were beaten in their trials. Coquet did manage to it but only by a neck in her trial.
Inexperience can prove a problem here, the ability to handle the camber often is too much for fillies so early in their career. Of those at the top of the market Maybe is best positioned to deal with it and she also has form in the book.
Of those at fancy prices Twirl is the one that offers most value. Dismissed in the market after her defeat in the Musidora she previously looked a good filly in the making on her two year old runs. She might just of learnt enough from the York run and the extra two furlongs will suit this daughter of Galileo and full sister to Misty For Me. At 50/1 she is the each way choice.
