The market will obviously need to be scrutinised ahead of a maiden featuring unraced two-year-olds butDEEMED ESSENTIAL was easily the most expensive of these as a yearling and Todd Pletcher’s Upstart filly has the added bonus of a rails draw so it will be a surprise if she isn’t a strong favourite. Alpha Babe, by Malibu Moon, should also be capable of a bold showing and Race Day Speed is preferred to Jill’s a Hot Mess of the others.
