Comment: 105,000euros yearling by Ghaiyyath; third in a novice (7f, good to soft) in November and showed marked improvement when running on well for second of seven in a maiden (1m, good to soft; hooded) 17 days ago, both at this track; 1m2f should help and she sets a good standard already.

Comment: Second foal; sister to 1m winner Whispering Words (RPR 89); dam 1m 2yo winner (including Listed; 101), half-sister to German 1m Listed winner Discursus (by this one's sire Dubawi) and UAE 1m Group 3 winner Blown By Wind; from such a strong team, she could easily be a leading player.

Comment: By Sea The Stars; fifth foal; sister to 1m2f winner American Flag (RPR 86), closely related to 1m4f AW winner Auriferous (92); dam 9.4f-1m2f winner (91), half-sister to 1m 2yo Group 2 winner Albert Hall and French 6f Listed winner Barsine; her yard runs three, so there are bound to be market clues.
