Verdict
There are a few unexposed fillies in this that may go on to better things. Corsetry ran a nice race on debut at Leicester and will know more today, while there was also plenty of promise in Miss Cap Estel's fifth at Salisbury. She would have finished closer that day had she not met trouble in running. Aleut has been placed in both starts but we fancy BALADY to get off the mark in this. She was only beaten half-a-length by subsequent May Hill fifth Semmayel at Newmarket last month and the third has franked the form since. Minnie Diva and Oojooba may prove the pick of the newcomers, though Great Heavens is also worth a second look.
