Newmarket Race 1 - Oliver Brown Pretty Polly Stakes (Fillies' Listed)
ESNA (2) showed plenty of potential during her first season including a 1.25L success in a 1400m novice race at Sandown where the second has won twice since. That was prior to a strong 2.5L fourth attempting the 1600m G1 Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp (France) last October. Top pick. SACRED GROUND (6) looks promising. Secured a 1600m novice victory on debut at Yarmouth before a 3.5L second contesting the 1600m Listed Montrose Stakes here last November. Rates highly. LILT (4) made a winning debut last October scoring by a neck attempting a 1400m soft ground maiden at Doncaster. Holds G1 entries in the coming months and represents a top yard. Makes appeal. MALDIVES (5) is proven tackling the trip. Interesting.

On debut seventh of 11 at Kempton Park All Weather May 21 over 1200m, 11 len behind Sayidah Hard Spun carrying 58kg at $17. Not keen on her chances.
