Verdict
MOONLIGHT CLOUD beat a quality field in this Group 1 12 months ago, including veteran Marchand D'Or. Freddie Head's filly came within inches of ending superstar Black Caviar's unbeaten record in the Diamond Jubilee at Royal Ascot and should take all the beating again on that evidence. Lockwood is making good progress and had Marchand D'Or back in third when winning a Group 3 at Maisons-Lafitte but Wizz Kid will probably struggle to get home over this trip and smart miler Strong Suit hasn't sparkled in a couple of runs this year. Kerasona has won four out of five this term but this represents a huge rise in class
