Venus De Milo landed the odds in a Group Three over track and trip in August but finished behind sixth-placed Drifting Mist on her reappearance. Jockey bookings suggest she's preferred to stablemate Dazzling but she has to give plenty of weight to the promising three-year-old filly EDELMIRA. The Irish Oaks entry won as she liked on her debut at Tipperary and Dermot Weld has picked up this prize three times in the last five years. Circling's form has taken a dip despite landing a maiden at Fairyhouse last time, while Morga finished ahead of Cristal Fashion in a Group Three contest at Naas last month, though neither troubled the winner.
