MUJADO, runner-up to two leading Sagitta 1000 Guineas hopes on her first two starts, can prove a cut above the opposition in the £200,000 St Leger Yearling Stakes at Doncaster tomorrow.
Brian Meehan's filly was given a tough introduction to racing.
First she hunted up Khulan at Newmarket and then she finished second to Regal Rose at Ascot. Both those fillies figure prominently in the ante-post betting on the 1000 Guineas.
There is plenty to admire about Mujado, who finally got her head in front at Windsor where she ran away her from 16 rivals, coming home five lengths clear of her nearest pursuer Tickle.
Obviously suited by tomorrow's trip of six furlongs at present, the filly can show that at 30,000 guineas she was a bargain buy.
The big betting race of the day, the Tote Trifecta Portland (Showcase Handicap), can go to Compton Banker.
Gerard Butler's young sprinter took a competitive event at Ascot in June by half a length from Licence To Thrill and has run consistently well since then.

Inforapenny was third in the Kildangan Stud Irish Oaks at 100-1 and can show that run was no fluke by winning the Group Three Rothmans Royals Park Hill Stakes.
Richard Fahey's filly seemed to be crying out for this one mile six and a half furlongs when a staying-on third to Petrushka and Melikah in the Curragh classic.
Since beginning the season with victory in a Pontefract maiden in April, Inforapenny has taken on the best of her generation being placed in both the Cheshire Oaks and the Lupe Stakes.
This Group Three contest represents the best chance for the Deploy filly to land a big prize.
Healey should also relish the step up in trip when he moves up from six to seven furlongs in the sport4cast.com Conditions Stakes.
The James Bethell-trained two-year-old has already proved to be a revelation by winning both his starts in tremendous style.
After flooring odds-on Up Tempo at Ripon last month, the Dr Devious colt returned there to slam Petongski by a length and a quarter.
Radio Star looked one to follow when making a winning debut at Sandown in June and can prove the point by being on the right wavelength in the Queen's Own Yorkshire Dragoons Classified Stakes.
