Petite Mustique evokes memories of dual Guineas heroine Hermosa

In 2018, Aidan O’Brien won the Colm Quinn BMW Irish EBF Fillies’ Maiden with subsequent dual 1000 Guineas winner Hermosa and it will be no surprise if Petite Mustique, who gave him back to back wins in the race with a facile success yesterday, emulates her illustrious stablemate.

With the benefit of two previous outings, the more recent of which was an eye-catching fourth behind stablemate Love, Petite Mustique looked a likely type for the race but was remarkably weak in the market, which saw sustained support for Azila and Too Soon To Panic.
