In depth

Verdict

PRECIOUS MOMENTS has an official rating of 100 which is hardly surprising given she was only narrowly beaten by subsequent Group 1 winner Albigna in the Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes here. She's taking a massive drop in class and won't get a better opportunity. Her stable companion Love Locket didn't appear to enjoy heavy ground in a Group 3 here last time but Gatwick Kitten relished those conditions on the track last month when dropped back to 5f. He had My Friend Stan behind that day and should confirm the form while Grizzly, a half-brother to a two-year-old winner, is possibly the best of the newcomers.
