The Aidan O'Brien bandwagon rolls on with three recent winners and Gemstone all involved here. Johnny Murtagh has chosen SPIN and that's hardly surprising after the daughter of Galileo made all for a very convincing maiden success over today's rivals and subsequent winners Luxurious and Banimpire over today's course and distance. A Fillies' Mile entry suggests better is expected and she can confirm her status as potentially high-class. Praise Be has made good progress and had Luxurious two lengths behind when scoring at Killarney which puts her in the frame for this. Cambina will need to improve from her nursery success at Killarney but she battled all the way to the line that day and won't go down through lack of resilience.
