I am confident in her due to her form behind Alexandrova in the English and Irish Oaks.
In my opinion, Alexandrova is better than Ouija Board was in her 3 year old year when she came over here and dusted our crop.
And Rising Cross quickened nicely with her and got a nice second at Epsom.
The races in England are of a different (and better) type in my opinion than anything we have here. And I don't see Gorella as being a top class filly/mare over in Europe, she just stands out here because she had an impressive run against our boys in the mile last year. She would just be another filly/mare over in Europe, and Rising Cross isn't just another filly in my opinion.
Film Maker is in a good spot here, but I don't see her winning. I am only on Rising Cross to win. No place or show wagers here.
