Verdict
There are some promising fillies on display here with Terra Mitica only beaten half-a-length on debut at Newmarket having run green. She will appreciate the extra furlong and Kick On Girl appeared to get outpaced dropped back to 7f at Leicester, though still finished a neck in front of Iconic Look. SMILING JAYNE, who is a half-sister to three winners, was only beaten a head over course and distance at the start of the month. With that run under her belt, she can go one better as Caryatid may need more time and Say Goodnight is making her debut in decent company though is a half-sister to three winners including the stable’s Derby and St Leger runner-up Mojo Star.
