Race preview
Velvet Vega is a well-bred newcomer representing a stable full of talented fillies, and the daughter of Lope De Vega is well worth a market watch ahead of her debut. However, preference is for EARTH SHOT, who finished a two-length second at Newbury in October on her only start as a juvenile and she still holds an Oaks entry. With that in mind, the Time Test filly gets the vote. Blue Noon and Malika are others to consider.
