Del Mar Sunset, Fantasy Princess and Filigree Lace are shortlisted in a competitive finale and the vote is given to DEL MAR SUNSET. The selection has been a fine servant to connections and he showed he still retains plenty of ability when he chased home Legislation here last time. The race was not really run to suit that day and if he gets a decent gallop tonight then Del Mar Sunset can get his head in front. Fantasy Princess wasn't beaten far again last time when she chased home Aboriginie over this course and distance and she should be thereabouts at the finish. Filigree Lace hails from a top yard but she was soundly beaten when last seen out in handicap company. She has since gone close in a maiden and she clearly does have ability. Ben Ami was narrowly beaten by Le Chiffre last time so if he goes well in the previous race then that would give the form a boost. A tough race to close the card and Del Mar Sunset is the pick.
