York Race 5 - Tattersalls Musidora Stakes (Fillies' Group 3)
LEGACY LINK (4) represents leading connections and can play a big role having recorded a 1600m novice victory second up at Haydock before a strong 4.5L fourth in the 1600m G1 Fillies Mile at Newmarket last October. That form worked out well in the 1000 Guineas. Top chance on return. The promising FELICITAS (2) arrives unbeaten with a debut success at Lingfield AW preceding a 3L victory in a 2000m novice race at Sandown Park nineteen days ago. Main danger. SEA THE STORM (6) concluded last year managing a runner-up effort in the 1600m G2 Preis der Winterkönigin at Baden Baden (Germany) before returning with a narrow novice success tackling this trip at Wetherby. Shortlist as set to follow up. Aidan O'Brien has won this event twice from the last five renewals and enters MOMENTS OF JOY (5) where improvement expected second up this year.

Second-up. Promising on debut ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len at Lingfield All Weather December 15 over 1600m defeating Allaire with 58kg at $19. Returned from break won by 3 len at Sandown Park April 24 over 2000m defeating Ribbon Of Sea carrying 61kg at $12. Clearly the one to beat again. Promising type.

Second-up. Comes off a 40-day let-up. First-up after six months 6th of 10 at Curragh in the G3 Park Express Stakes on April 3 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Celestial Orbit with 55.5kg at $5.50. Previously second-up 5th of 10 at Newmarket (Rowley) in the G1 Fillies' Mile on October 10 over 1600m, 6 len behind Precise with 58kg at $17. Looks a top-three prospect for the O'Brien team.
