This looks tricky but Greek Easter is nominated ahead of Candle and Chifney Rush. Aegean Pearl cost $150,000 and is bred for the dirt. Her stable is also going well and she can go well today. Candle showed plenty of promise when second on her Lingfield debut and holds obvious claims. Chifney Rush hails from a good yard and has a good pedigree too so gets a good mention, while Greek Easter has shown promise on each start to date and was arguably a little unlucky in running last time. The extra distance today should suit Over Ice, who has shown promise, while Regent's Park has a similar profile. Dream Shared did not show enough on her debut to get a confident mention but Maud's Cat deserves to get a mention because of her name. Seriously, though, her breeding is not bad at all. Finally, Mezzo is one for the future, and the 150,000 euros purchase Moon Empress is one to keep an eye on. it would seem but, for today, the advice is to watch the betting ahead of tentatively suggesting Greek Easter.
