Newmarket, Sunday, May 1: The fillies make their grand entrance today at the Rowley Mile in the 1000 Guineas (5th race/16.40pm/500,000 pounds/1609m). Aidan O`Brien has two hot irons in the fire through Tenebrism (Ryan Moore) and Tuesday (Frankie Dettori). The former capped her career to date with victory in the Cheveley Park Stakes (Group 1) over Sandrine (David Probert), while her stablemate currently won in Naas in the style of a better horse. The O`Brien fillies will be challenged by Discoveries (Shane Foley), who scored her most valuable triumph in the Moyglare Stud Stakes (Group 2). Malavath (Christophe Soumillon) and Zellie (Tom Marquand) currently made their mark in the Prix Imprudence (Group 3) in the first two places. The former ran in last year`s Breeders Cup (Group 1) and pleased when second well ahead of Mise En Scene (Cieren Fallon), who was a good fourth behind Prosperous Voyage (Rob Hornby) in the Fillies Mile (Group 1) here. Wild Beauty (William Buick), Cachet (James Doyle) and Juncture (Colin Keane) made their mark this year with victories at a higher level.
