Race preview
Aidan O'Brien has made a fast start with his juveniles this season and the master of Ballydoyle unleashes another well-bred filly in FRIENDLY. The daughter of Galileo is a full-sister to the Group 2-winning two-year-old Gustav Klimt amongst others, while her grandam is Rafha, who won the French Oaks and is the dam of Invincible Spirit and Kodiac. A Ma Chere, Palifico and Windsor Pass are other debutants with strong pages who could go well, while Takeko is entitled to be sharper for her debut experience.
