Mashaaer was sold for 105,00gns at the sales in February having found only one too good at Ascot on last year’s debut. Lucia Joy made a promising start when going close at Newcastle last month but CALLISTO MOON will improve for this extra distance. A full sister to a Group 1 winner, the 1000 Guineas entry could only manage third over 7f here on her recent debut but the Godolphin filly will know more today. Eshtora is related to several winners and is a newcomer to note.
