Verdict
Harmony Bay is related to three winners and may be the pick of the newcomers ahead of Fashionata and Pine Ridge but those with experience are preferred. CIARA'S BEAUTY was only beaten a short-head at Lingfield on her second start. That was a big improvement on her first run and she can get the better of the more-exposed Socialites Red, who is in danger of becoming disappointing. Kashtan may be a bigger danger having been placed in both starts and she makes more appeal than Compton Lady and Shine Likeadiamond.
