Newmarket Race 1 - Darley EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
EARTH SHOT (3) appeals as the leading chance after finishing 2nd at Newbury over 1610m, beaten 2L in a GBB/GBBPlus Race. BLUE NOON (2) was 4th at Leicester over 1408m, beaten 3.5L, and MALIKA (4) also finished 4th at Kempton over 1609m, though with a wider margin. VELVET VEGA (6) and WILD VIOLET (7) debut for strong stables and add interest. Earth Shot (3) brings the standout recent placing, with Blue Noon (2) and Malika (4) next best on exposed form.
