SET IN STONE was well suited by testing conditions when a close second to Zelaniya at Gowran in October and the winner, who is engaged in the following race, reappeared with a very good run at Naas last week. Pat Shanahan's filly looks the safest option though Furiosa arrives with plenty of experience but may do better over further. Dabulena is bred to stay longer trips but this looks the right distance for Mollie The Moo, a half-sister to a winning miler in the USA. Angel Island is another likely to do better in time as she's a half-sister to a winning bumper.
