Another excellent prize for three-year-old fillies, most of who have met at some stage. Bulletproof One completed a hat-trick in her first three starts and has also won her last two. However, she couldn't handle Warren's Showtime when tackling the California-bred Oaks here in January though had Warrior's Moon just behind in third. The winner had previously finished third behind Been Studying Her and Smiling Shirlee in another version of that race earlier and the latter showed herself in good form by scoring here in March. BELLA VITA was a close third behind Warren's Showtime over the track and trip last time though that was only her third start and her first at the trip so Simon Callaghan's filly gets the vote in a tricky race.
