Verdict

Little separates these on official ratings but ARAMINTA (NAP) looks as though she can go higher. Henry Candy's filly has been beaten just once in four starts, on heavy ground, and had plenty in hand when landing a Chantilly Group 3 last time. Her rider Colin Keane was on board Jackie Oh for Aidan O'Brien when she won a Gowran Group 3 and she looks the best of the Ballydoyle quartet here. Trevaunance hasn't quite replicated last season's form but she's been mixing it in top company and this is slightly easier. Lumiere Rock was headed right on the line over this trip at Deauville and faster conditions will see her difficult to catch in that kind of form.
