GUESSTHEBILL (IRE) (f, 3, Reckless Abandon {GB}–Tussie Mussie {GB}, by Royal Applause {GB}), a debut runner-up over this trip at Naas last time Apr. 9, was well away to stalk the pace in second from the outset here. Gaining a slender advantage before halfway, the 2-5 lock was shaken up when pressed on both sides just inside the quarter-mile marker and kept on strongly under a late drive to assert by 1 1/4 lengths from Himmah (Ire) (Intikhab). The homebred bay, a first winner for her sire (by Royal Applause {GB}) is the sole representative out of a full-sister to MGSW G2 Oettingen-Rennen scorer Lovelace (GB) (Royal Applause {GB}) and hails from a family which includes GI Woodford Reserve Turf Classic-winning sire Stroll (Pulpit), G2 Sun Chariot S. victress and G1 Nassau S. runner-up Lady In Waiting (GB) (Kylian), and GSW G1 South African Fillies Sprint second Headstrong (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}). Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, €13,664. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
