Zoustar filly cost 80,000euros as a yearling; first foal; dam 7.4f-1m2f winner (inc 2yo/Listed; RPR 105), closely related to useful 1m2f-12.4f winner Granddukeoftuscany, half-sister to winners Above Average (1m2f Group 3) and Sent From Heaven (7f 2yo Group 3); newcomer has to be respected from this source, especially if strong in the market.

Knew enough first time out to make a winning debut at Galway in September, beating Sanctijude by 0.5l over 7f on soft; never landed a blow in Group 3 company afterwards but very unexposed and opening mark doesn't look harsh; leading player for top course trainer.

Zoustar filly sent off at 5-1 on debut at Galway (7f, soft) and scored by 0.5l; well bred, totally unexposed and any rain would be a plus but this is a big step up in class and Browne-McMonagle prefers the chances of Alibah.
