The admirably tough Banimpire has a couple of Group 2 wins to her credit this year but the effects of a long, hard season showed signs of taking its toll with a below-par effort in the Yorkshire Oaks last time. Bible Belt has been steadily working her way up to this level and she landed a Group 3 at this track recently. Obama Rule and Look At Me finished behind her last time and she had earlier beaten Sapphire and Kirinda at Gowran. Chrysanthemum finished a well-beaten third in the Pretty Polly over track and trip back in June, while ELEANORA DUSE hasn't won since taking this race last year. However, this is the first time she's encountered soft ground since and, after a decent run behind Twice Over at York last month, a chance is taken that Sir Michael Stoute's filly will be back to her best today.
