Verdict

It’s probably about time Subtle Beauty, rated 80, was getting her head in front but she is up against less-exposed maidens in this and won’t find it easy. Wild Rhythm has been gelded since last seen but the vote goes to WALEYFA, who has shown inexperience in both of her starts to date but has placed in both and should now be ready to do herself justice. Cover Name has found only one too good in her two races and can’t be ignored.
