Siren Sound is readily preferred to Victoria Reel and Thought Is Free. The selection made a pleasing debut in a four runner maiden here earlier in the month and should be all the better for her initial experience. She wasn't beaten far that day behind a couple of fair colts and should appreciate the opportunity to race against her own sex. Thought Is Free sets the standard having fared adequately in a couple of Group races but she is fairly exposed and appeals as one to take on. Cosmopolitan looks the part on paper and has to be of keen interest on debut but it remains to be seen how she'll fare on the track whereas we know that Victoria Reel has shown ability on course. She ran a fair race to finish behind a newcomer from the Gosden yard here last time and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of this heat. In any respect, we fancy Siren Sound to dash the hopes of her adversaries.
