Completed her hat-trick in Grade 1 Rodeo Drive Stakes at Santa Anita last time by head from Luck, always holding on. Much respected in her bid for a four-timer.

Low-mileage 4-y-o who arrives on the up after back-to-back 9f wins at Saratoga and Belmont. Not ruled out now stepping back up in trip.

Took her form up a level when winning Group 3 at the Curragh before good seventh in Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown. This is tougher but she's going the right way and longer trip should suit.

Close fifth in the Prix de Diane and this reliable filly gained a deserved first win of 2021 in Group 1 Prix de l'Opera. She can make her presence felt again.

Smart 7f/1m winner for Mike De Kock but off the track for 7 months before coming in last of 7 for his new yard in Group 2 at Newmarket in September. Hood goes on now with something to prove.

11/4
1000 Guineas/Oaks winner in 2020 who added a fifth Group 1 to her tally at Royal Ascot in June. Her record has taken a bit of a hit since though but she can't be discounted back up in trip now.

Fast improving filly who completed a 4-timer in Grade 1 Flower Bowl Stakes at Saratoga in September by 2¼l from Great Island, quickening well last 1f. She's now 6-7 overall, and a leading player.

Smart mare who bagged Group 2 Kyoto Kinen at Hanshin in April. Back from 4 months off with good second in Grade 2 at Sapporo. Holds solid claims.

Arrives in very good order, and back to winning ways in Grade 3 at Belmont last month. Smart mare who is one for the shortlist.

Sixth in Epsom Oaks before taking her form up a level when third in Group 3 at Newmarket last month. Still lightly raced, so she rates a lively outsider.

Mostly good efforts when placed all starts this year, 1½l third of 9 to Going To Vegas in Grade 1 Rodeo Drive Stakes at Santa Anita last time. Possibilities.

Landed this event 12 months ago and she's proved just as good this term, faring much the best of those who raced prominently when fourth in Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp. Bold showing is on the cards.

Forecasts

War Like Goddess (5/2), Love (11/4), Loves Only You (4/1), Audarya (8/1), Going To Vegas (10/1), Pocket Square (11/1), Rougir (14/1), Acanella (28/1), Dogtag (40/1), My Sister Nat (50/1), Ocean Road (66/1), Queen Supreme (80/1)

Verdict

A cracking renewal of this Grade 1, but home-favourite WAR LIKE GODDESS arrives firmly on the up and is hard to side against after showing a good turn of foot to claim her first win in Grade 1 company at Saratoga. Last year's heroine Audarya returns in fine fettle and James Fanshawe's likeable filly is sure to go well again, while Japanese-raider Loves Only You has the form to have a say too.

  3. LOVES ONLY YOU (JPN)
