Verdict

SENSATIONAL LOVE is a speculative pick against Bakoura and Our Way Only. Admittedly the Cadeaux Generaux filly only beat one home at Goodwood on debut but the fact that she was thought good enough to take her chance in a hot maiden contest speaks volumes. The step up in trip should not be an issue and the drop in grade will help. Bakoura faced a tough task against a Godolphin hotpot at Doncaster last month though she was clear of the remainder. Our Way Only was relatively expensive in relation to some of the scorching two-year-olds from the Richard Hannon yard. Closely related to a number of milers, a market check is advised. Red Oleander will make appeal once sent handicapping. Rosa Midnight cost 75000 euros at the sales and looks certain to improve with a bit more time. A race that is likely to produce a few future winners but for today, Sensational Love is worth a cheeky wager.
