SUNDIATA wasn’t beaten that far despite finishing only fifth at Lingfield on last month’s debut. Detached from the rest after a slow start on that occasion, she’ll know more today and gets the vote ahead of Pacificadora. The latter was placed at Kempton on her introduction when finishing in front of Dorchester while Hanbury Dreams posted an improved effort at Lingfield last time. J'ouvert can include a Listed winner among a host of winning relatives and is preferred to April Wine of the newcomers.
