        In depth

        Verdict

        This looks a good opportunity for Sparkling Crystal who is taken to get the better of First Queen and Plotting. The selection hails from the Barry Hills yard and this filly has shaped with plenty of promise on both of her starts to date. She was not beaten far last time out and she looks to have a rock solid chance here. First Queen was well beaten on her debut but Luca Cumani's filly will have learned plenty for the experience and the market should be a guide to her chance. Kevin Ryan has done well with his 2-year-olds this season so Plotting is another to consider on her debut. John Dunlop's string are running well at present so Zaaqya is also worth a mention. However, for the winner we will stick with Sparkling Crystal.
