Just four in the finale and with Ask Mary having shown little in two starts to date, it will be a major shock if this doesn't go to one of the three newcomers. Leefen Queen is daughter of King's Ride out of an unraced Deep Run mare while the Be My Native mare, Blue Shannon, also makes plenty of appeal on breeding. Both represent powerful yards, who do well in this type of event, and are preferred over Golden Nougat but, as ever in this type of event, the market will provide further clues.
