Verdict

Turn On The Style will be an apt winner on Ladies day and he gets our vote ahead of Cape Royal and Kay Two. The selection won well last time at Lingfield when beating Maltese Falcon and although the draw has not been overly kind, he does break quickly from the stalls and he should be able to command a good early position. Cape Royal has an even worse draw and the fact that he has a tendency to start slowly in his races means that his wide draw could be a massive handicap and he will need plenty of luck in running to get competitive. Kay Two finished a short-head behind Cape Royal last time and from stall 4 he should be capable of reversing the placings with that rival today. Mr Wolf has the plum draw and as Darryll Holland is at his best when riding from the front he could go well at a price. However, Turn On The Style can do just that today and he gets the vote.
