COMPOSING (IRE) (f, 2, Wootton Bassett {GB}–Epona Plays {Ire} {MGSW-Ire, $208,285}, by Australia {GB}), the subject of support into 3-1 second favouritism, was up in the front line from the outset in this maiden won 12 months ago by stablemate Lake Victoria. Pressed by Cape Sounion (No Nay Never) inside the final two furlongs, the first foal out of the Group 2-winning dam stayed on to score by 3/4 of a length. “She's a filly that will get further, she's uncomplicated,” Aidan O'Brien said of the winner, who had been fifth over six furlongs here on debut last month. “Wayne [Lordan] said she went to the line with her ears pricked and she probably has the makings of a lovely filly. She's out of an Australia mare, so she's going to stay as well.” Epona Plays, who captured the G2 Ridgewood Pearl Stakes, G3 Park Express Stakes and G3 Denny Cordell Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Stakes, is a half to the G3 Athasi Stakes winner Dolce Strega (Zoffany) and to the dam of Siyouni's G1 Kingston Town Classic winner Amelia's Jewel. She also has a yearling colt by Lope De Vega. Sales history: €300,000 Ylg '24 GOFORY. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $14,497. O-Mrs J Magnier/M Tabor/D Smith/Westerberg; B-Renzo Forni; T-Aidan O'Brien.
