Saa'ida, Repetischa and Honours Stride make the shortlist here with HONOURS STRIDE taken to follow up a promising effort on her last start last year. Clive Brittain, unsurprisingly, has been aiming high with Saa'ida, and she shaped with some credit at big odds at Newmarket last month. This is a distinctly weaker contest and she can make an impact. Repetischa has a similar profile, starting at a big price when running respectably at Headquarters, and Ed Dunlop has had his share of winners recently-one in five of his three-year-old runners have won this season. Honours Stride, out of the classy and speedy Dance Parade, looked like she was capable of paying back some of her 170,000 Guineas price tag when a close third at Warwick last September, a race which threw up three next time out winners. She needs to improve further to land this but with around a one in three strike rate at the moment, Sir Michael Stoute is difficult to oppose and Honours Stride can get off the mark.
