WINTER has looked the real deal all season and should gain her fifth successive Group 1 victory having already beaten most of these at some stage. She looked as good as ever in the Nassau Stakes last time and though her stable companion Roly Poly has improved markedly since beaten twice by her and has now won two Group 1's of her own, Ryan Moore keeps faith with the selection. Qemah wasn't far behind the latter in the Group 1 Prix Rothschild at Deauville and it would be no surprise to see a form reversal on this stiffer track while Hugo Palmer sends recent German Group 2 winner Unforgetable Filly from the UK despite being beaten 11l by the selection in the 1000 Guineas. John Gosden's Persuasive was also close up at Deauville and finished strongly so she's another who should do better back here having finished runner-up to Alice Springs in last year's renewal.
