        Verdict

        Aidan O’Brien has sent out four of the last five winners and the trainer’s confidence in the chances of Curragh maiden winner Santa Barbara has the bookmakers running for cover. She may well prove to be top-class but any value lies elsewhere. Stablemate Mother Earth came up short at the highest level last year including a third in the Fillies’ Mile over track and trip but ALCOHOL FREE won the Group 1 Cheveley Park over 6f here in September and returned to action with a victory in the Fred Darling trial at Newbury defeating both Statement and Vadream in the process. Her jockey is convinced she’ll stay this extra furlong and Andrew Balding’s filly has the proven class to go close. Sacred just got the better of Saffron Beach with Seattle Rock and Star Of Emaraaty further behind when landing the Nell Gwyn over 7f here while Group 2 winner Fev Rover has form on today’s fast ground and is preferred to Thunder Beauty and Lullaby Moon.
