Verdict

OCEAN QUEST cranked it up another notch when winning at this Group 3 level a month ago and given this 3-y-o filly isn't yet exposed, there ought to be more to come from her. She's marginally preferred in favour of Go Athletico and Big Gossey, who are both established at this level.

  1. OCEAN QUEST (IRE)
  2. GO ATHLETICO (FR)
