Verdict
Fareedha and Fine Painting both posted improved efforts on their latest starts and make most appeal of those with experience. However, one of the newcomers won't have to be anything to special to take this and MORE THAN WORDS could prove good enough. She cost 145,000 euros and her dam, Gilded, won five times as a two-year-old for Richard Hannon including the Queen Mary. Delft is also related to smart juveniles, including a Group 2 winner, and she also has to come into the reckoning with Lexington Pearl worth noting for the future.
