The feature event of the afternoon at Newmarket is the Group One 1000 Guineas over a mile and like the 2000 Guineas our win selection is Tahiyra for trainer Dermot Weld.
The three year old daughter of Siyouni, Tahiyra has been seen just twice on the world stage to date, making her debut at Galway in emphatic style when bolting up by lose to six lengths, she was then saved for the Group One Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh.
Taking on the proven superstar Meditate, she travelled into the race beautifully before breezing past the Aidan O'Brien trained filly to win with any amount in hand.
A star was officially born after that performance and if training on this season is a player in either especially if the rain comes.
