Reina Sofia will need to step up on her form to date, but a better effort is expected from Karuga as she ran well for a long way on her debut at Folkestone and Richard Hughes prefers her to Miss Astragal. However, GURU GIRL made a more impressive debut at Newmarket last month when third to Princess Banu and she gets the vote to open her account granted normal improvement. Newcomers to note in the betting include Starfly, who is related to five winners in France and the Exceed and Excel fillies Represent and My Lucky Liz.
