Verdict
GODDESS made her debut in a fillies' maiden at the Curragh won by her short-priced stable companion Peach Tree. She never got competitive but was twice denied a run at crucial stages and will know much more here. Munees Gemini is a half-sister to seven winners but Mustmeetmin should be suited by further in time. Pursuit Of Magic is a half-sister to a couple of middle-distance winners in France while Sea Of Joy is by Galileo out of a 6f Group 3 winning juvenile. Vocal Saint is a half-sister to four winners and one to keep a eye on.
