Common sense should ensure Look Here runs here rather than the Eclipse. Would have a great chance to add to her Oaks success.
 
Look Here should have a big chance in this; would like to see take her shot at it although I understand they're looking at the Eclipse too if Sea The Stars isn't going to turn up. If she's going to get done for speed over 10f, it'll probably be Lush Lashes and Heaven Sent doing it.
 
Ladbrokes go 3-1 Look Here, Katiyra and Dar Re Mi; 6-1 Heaven Sent; 7-1 Lush Lashes; 16-1 Profound Beauty; 20-1 bar.

Very early thoughts that Lush Lashes looks big at the price. She's disappointed this season but on this ground and trip she's big enough at that price having beaten Dar Re Mi twice last season.

Looks a good renewal....be nice to see Lush Lashes come back to form but this looks a good opportunity for Look Here or Katiyra.
 
If Katiyra is fit and ready, I think the distance would suit her more than Look Here. She could be the top mare come the end of the year.

Nice performance from Dar Re mi. The pace was totally against Look Here and I think they should have waited for the King George.
 
For a fillies race it was up to scratch. Dar Re MI had nice bits of from with Zarkava last year and Lush Lushes actually ran quite well. It was the ground that did for her today rather than running like a drain.
 
There were two Group 1 winners in the field and the second from last year's Vermeille. What more can you wish for in a Fillies race?
 
for more than 2 horses to have a chance of winning it would be nice

a race with 10 G1 winners isn't strong if 5 of them drop out the stalls 10 lengths behind the rest..and another 4 sit back of a slow pace.

race strength has to involve it being competetive imo..prescence without impact in a race doesn't make it strong

the Derby has been criticised for being weak becuse it was run slowly..not once have I seen anyone say it was strong because there were so many Group horses taking part...this race was no different
 
at middle Good I would expect them to have run it in about 59.3...would venture its just the easy side of Good..verging into G/S..on the cusp...if that makes sense
 
Cheers for that EC. Alfred Nobel just won that nicely and looks the Phoenix Stakes horse for which he has been supplemented for along with another colt.
 
Thought Famous Name was very impressive in the Listed race. Wonder if they'll keep him at around a mile.
