SPICE TRAIL (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}) debuts for Khalid Abdullah and Andre Fabre who are currently still in the process of masterminding the career of her high-achieving G1 Prix du Jockey Club-winning half-brother New Bay (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). This is a significant stamina test for her racecourse debut, but a large proportion of her family members have stayed well, including the 1993 G1 Irish Oaks winner Wemyss Bight (GB) (Dancing Brave).
