Verdict

SOMEHOW has the call on official ratings and though having to carry a Group 3 penalty for a very easy victory at the Curragh in August will have benefited markedly for her run on unsuitable testing ground at Naas where she just failed to hold off Czabo. Laganore also carries extra after an easy Listed victory at Newmarket but she did even better when a close third in a Group 1 in Italy and is expected to win some good races this campaign. Turret Rocks ended her juvenile season with an excellent second in the Prix Marcel Boussac and only contested Group 1 races last year. She's expected to do well this term and has entries in all the major fillies' events. Sea Swift hasn't had much experience but should do better this year.
