        Verdict

        Newkeylets gets the call here ahead of Princess Ellis and Moonlight Applause. A number of these are lightly raced and open to improvement, but they will need to show it, or their best has come on the all-weather. Newkeylets has at least shown reasonable form in the context of this race within the last nine months both on the all-weather and Turf and, accordingly, seems a fair enough option. Princess Ellis's last three runs suggest that her mark is reasonable enough, although they have come at six furlongs, while Moonlight Applause has run pretty well from today's mark on her two latest starts, the best of them coming on Southwell's all-weather, but is another that has to be given some thought. The Brat has shown improvement at the minimum trip of late, including when second to the improving Windjammer last time, and cannot be ruled out. Once again, though, the selection is Newkeylets.
