JOAN OF ARC has much to live up to as she's probably the best-bred filly in training. The daughter of Galileo is a full-sister to six winners including Gleneagles, Marvellous and Happily, all successful at Group 1 level. She was headed on the line by a more experienced rival at Dundalk in November and should leave that form behind. Giuliana was placed in a Group 3 here on soft ground in October but didn't handle heavy going at Naas next time. The remainder with experience make little appeal so a newcomer may prove more of a threat and Cosa Sara is by Gleneagles out of a winner over this trip while stable companion Emilie Gray is by Dubawi and the first foal of a Group 3 winner. Jim Bolger's Teofilo filly Soilse is related to two winners, one of them over this trip.
