Verdict

The feature race of the day can go to Mario Hofer and WHISPERED DREAMS; her rivals may not be top notch but most opposition should come from Golden Stream and Balaagha. The daughter of Platini is likely to be a good price as she hopes to lower the colours of some well-thought-of fillies. Although rated a bit below the top here, she is proven over this trip and her German handler very rarely brings horses across to contest these sort of races. Golden Stream is the one to beat on the ratings but she disappointed badly last time out. The step back up in trip is not sure to suit this Listed winner, although she does hold a few of her rivals on her run behind Moneycantbuymelove in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot. Balaagha ran well behind Strawberrydaiquiri last time out and she is a consistent filly who is unlikely to be far away, although Richard Hills' absence is a negative. Lady Deauville needs rain, Annabelle's Charm is a handicapper, whilst Please Sing was third in a Group Three at Goodwood last time out and she looks to be nicely treated by the terms and conditions of this race, however she is another with stamina to prove and so it Whispered Dreams who is preferred.
