Verdict
Newcomer Jaja De Jau is related to plenty of winners including the smart stayer Sergeant Cecil although MOON GLOW can outdo her in the breeding stakes given she's a half-sister to top-class dual Group 1 winner Medicean among others. John Gosden's filly is taken to make a winning debut but it won't be easy as Perfect Delight sets a decent standard having been placed in a couple of handicaps so far this year. The latter is preferred to Aliante, who has lost her way a little, but Dedication could prove a threat stepping up to middle-distances for the first time.
