Race Overview
There are several well-bred fillies here in what has the makings of a hot maiden. Both SIYANDRA (1) and TEERAN (6) return from lengthy absences but revealed considerable promise in their two outings last year, so will likely open their accounts sooner rather than later - they could find themselves fighting for victory, although regally bred WITH STARS (13) fits a similar profile having also shown significant promise on her debut last season. She would've strengthened up and improved during the winter. CI MER (2) and SAILAWAYWITHME (9) are closely matched on the form of their encouraging introductions and, along with LILLY LUX (5), aren't without chances either. Good race!
