An up-to-scratch renewal with two very smart fillies heading the market. Following her striking victory in the Musidora, WHIRL improved again when narrowly defeated by stablemate Minnie Hauk in the Oaks. She can land a first Group 1 success at the expense of Kalpana who was very progressive last season and arrives on the back of a very solid third in the Tattersalls Gold Cup. Survie chased home Arc runner-up Aventure on reappearance last month and may prove best of the rest.
