Sitva Queen silk
Sitva Queen
J: C Habib
T: R Klaasen
September foal; sibling of Winter Path (5f winner); there's hope from the sire that she has some ability; one to consider with signs of encouragement in profile and her sire suggests the distance might suit.

Verdict

This is quite open. Proud Mary is from a top stable while Drachenfutter, Sitva Queen and Proud Mary have pedigrees which catch the eye. However, it may pay to side with HEAVENLY LACE. She is the most interesting newcomer.
