Verdict

Profitable Edge is the form pick and holds a few of these on previous runs though she's vulnerable to an improver and OCEAN JEWEL fits the bill. A €230,000 half-sister to 1000 Guineas winner Mother Earth and other smart winners, she showed up nicely in a much better race than this at the Curragh and gets a good chance to open her account. Big Time Girl is held by Profitable Edge on latest running and Bonny Power was behind her on the same track earlier though the latter looks the more likely improver.
