Group One Pretty Polly Stakes Guide 2022

The last two runs for Thunder Kiss haven't been inspiring at all, she's finished 3/6, and 6/8.

She had been rather progressive prior to this, but the two poor runs in succession leave room for suspicion that she may be regressing.

She has ability, but she is now risky on the balance of her form this year.

Dreamloper has done nothing but improve throughout her career. She is unbeaten this year, including a G2 on return, and a G1 success most recently.

She has taken her form to a new level, and she has arguably the best form in here. One of the likelier winners. 

La Petite Coco is admirably consistent, yet still relatively unexposed. She's a 4y/o now and she's only had the 7 runs, and she's also a two-time group winner.

She was last seen in the Autumn last year, edging out Love over C&D. She will need to be on her A-game and absolutely cherry ripe on her return to beat some of the quality on offer.

Big ask but capable filly.

Rosscarbery has been a revelation this year, winning a maiden off a mark of 83, she then rose from handicaps to win a G3 all within the space of 4 runs.

She's showed a remarkable attitude and she's clearly thriving at present. It's worth mentioning that last time out, Rosscarbery had both Lily Pond and Thunder Kiss well beaten in a G3, so she has strong form claims too.

Her fourth in the Oaks reads well, she was behind stablemate Tuesday there, so it will be interesting to see how she runs in the Irish Derby.

If that form is as good as it looks, she must have a top chance by default. She's a useful filly in her own right too, and this trip looks like it should suit better. Chance. 

Ran away with a listed race at Ayr last time out by 12L. It looked as though the penny had finally dropped with her there and she's really building on her massive potential.

She's impeccably bred and William Haggas is a master with this type of horse. She will surely be involved in the finish.

Ex French horse, now with William Haggis. She won last time out in a G2 at Chantilly in good style, so she's clearly bundles of ability.

However, she was sent over to Ireland for the 1000 Guineas, and she disappointed and finished 6th. That was her only run out of France, so she needs to prove she can do it elsewhere. Risky.

Won the G3 Blue Wind (10f) at Naas from Lily Pond, then she went for the Oaks, but ultimately finished well beaten (12f).

She is a half-sister to multiple G1 winner State Of Rest, and she has a fantastic page. She will need to improve to win, but she's from a brilliant family and she's steadily progressive. Outside chance?

Ran a good race in defeat to Hannibal Barca last time out in a G3 over C&D. She looks to have an upwardly mobile profile, and she has shown improvement with each start.

She still has a good deal to find here though. This does look a big ask on her bare form.
