In depth

Verdict

Palifico is likely to take some beating here after being mugged on the line by A Ma Chere over the course and distance last month. None of her rivals with experience have shown a similar level of form so it could be a newcomer who provides the main threat. The winner's yard is represented by Harannda, by Invincible Spirit out of a Group 3 two-year-old winner over 7f so she should be ideally suited by this trip on her debut. Rosa Woodsii is the first foal of a winning miler and should have enough pace as should the E220,000 Sloane Peterson, a half-sister to Group 2 winner Arnold Lane. ELIZABETHAN is bred to be a star being a full-sister to Group 1 winners US Navy Flag and Roly Poly and out of the brilliant quadruple Group 1 winner Misty For Me so all eyes are likely to be on her.
