Exquisite Ruby may prove best of those with racecourse experience. She was beaten a couple of lengths here on her debut and three subsequent winners have come out of the race. That looks stronger form than Qatari Riyals’ placed effort at Kempton in October and Paquita Bailarina’s third at Chelmsford. But this won’t take much winning and Godolphin’s 120,000gns filly HISTORIC EVENT may be good enough on her debut considering Saeed Bin Suroor’s yard is in such fine form.
