Wetherby Race 3

Vertu Mazda York Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)

Prize Money: $22,140

SEA THE STORM (4) is yet to finish outside the top two in two career starts winning a Sandown Park maiden by 2.25L before a respectable second contesting the G3 Preis der Winterkonigin at Baden-Baden. Represents a new trainer. Leading contender. PIERIAN (6) rates the pick of the debutants and is a stablemate to the main selection. Bred by Palace Pier out of G1 Irish Oaks winner Great Heavens. This half-sister to G3 Prix de Royaumont winner Thunder Drum warrants consideration. NOWSHESDANCING (1) aims to remain unbeaten now representing a new yard following a narrow neck victory at Dundalk AW. Dangerous. CEINTURE D'ORION (5) is debuting and worth keeping an eye out for.
