Some awfully exciting fillies including Queen's Jewel, Star of Seville and Little Nightingale, bargain buy Absolute Blast, Physiocrate (who is a course and distance winner) (as is Desiree Clary) my sentimental pick, Mick Channons Malabar (but then I always root for him)... just a very nice field with so many possibilities. I will not be playing this... a race to sit, watch and enjoy.
Past winners, of course, include Treve, Zarkava, Stacelita, Divine Proportions... shall I continue?
Come home safe everyone and good luck if you're playing!
