FormscanBy Michael Graham - STATUETTE is hard to go past after her taking debut at Navan. This imposing daughter of US Triple Crown winner Justify created a big impression when beating her main market rival by three lengths over an extended 5f. She is bred in the purple being out of Group 1 Coronation Stakes winner Immortal Verse, and looks well worth her place in this Group 2. There was a lot to like about the way Papilio came from a fair bit back to beat 17 rivals on debut over CD. There could be a lot of pace on in this race and she should be one coming home well under Jamie Spencer. Matilda Picotte blazed a trail to get off the mark over CD in May. The same tactics were foiled when she was collared and beaten into fourth in a Group 3 at Naas, however, the winner of that race has since followed up in the Group 3 Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot. Zarinsk was another CD winner on debut. There should be plenty of improvement in her. Badb, It's Showtime Baby and Comhra cannot be ruled out.
