Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 29, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 29, 2018 Godolphin plan to have at least one or possibly two fillies representing them in the G1 QIPCO 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on Sunday. The team have decided to supplement recent G3 Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn S. winner Soliloquy (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) for the race while the participation of stable-mate Wild Illusion (GB) (Dubawi [Ire}) hinges on weather conditions over the coming days. “I have spoken to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed and he has decided to supplement Soliloquy for the Guineas following her fine win in the G3 Nell Gwyn Stakes,” trainer Charlie Appleby said on Sunday. “We are hopeful that Wild Illusion will also take her chance, but as we have said all along, it all depends on the ground. She does not want it too quick. The forecast is for a dry spell at Newmarket from the middle of the week so we will keep an eye on conditions.” Wild Illusion was last seen belying her 25/1 odds when winning the G1 Total Prix Marcel Boussac on Arc day at Chantilly last October and if conditions aren’t deemed suitable for her at the weekend a return trip to France could be on the cards. “If it is on the faster side of good, there will be discussions on whether she should run at Newmarket, or wait and travel to France for their Guineas on Sunday, 13 May,” Appleby added.
