Verdict
Steel Rain scored at Chepstow on her latest start, but that was back in May so the more recent winner GRIFFIN POINT gets the nod. She scored at the same track last week and Willie Muir's filly can follow up in this similar contest. Irish raider Queen Grace could find herself in the mix once again after finishing second on her last three starts but it's difficult to make a serious case for any of the remainder, though Lake Wanaka showed a bit more at Wolverhampton on Thursday.
