PERFECT PORTRAIT has to be the form pick on her two runs last season, the latest when a good fourth in a Curragh Group 3. She'll need to win here to justify Classic entries though there are a few unexposed types who are expected to improve. They include the superbly-bred Red Carpet, who showed very good pace before fading at Cork when Time To Soar went past in the closing stages. Susiesparkle looked as though she needed further when staying on over the track and trip last month while Gulf Pearl didn't look suited by heavy ground at Leopardstown. Angelic Appeal and the selection's stablemate Thunder Roll are newcomers to note.
