Rahiyah is proving frustrating to follow so whilst it will all fall into place at some point, we will take a chance on it not being today and side instead with Italian Girl ahead of perennial runner-up Miss Lucifer and Ivory Lace. The selection drops in trip today which should suit given that she has been struggling to provide a telling turn of foot in her races having been held up to get the trip. Now over seven furlongs once again, a more prominent position may be held in the race and with winning course form to her name, she is fancied to oblige. Miss Lucifer is proving devilishly hard to win with and Barry Hills' filly may have to settle for place money once again, so a more eminent threat may be Graduation who is still fairly unexposed and has more to give. The consistent duo of Diamond Diva and Steam Cuisine have place claims, along with Kompete who should come on for her recent run. Our Faye has had a wonderful season and should again run her race, whilst Ivory Lace has a terrific record on turf and will love both the ground and the trip. Vital Statistics is another to consider in an open Listed race, however it is Italian Girl who gets the nod.
