The France-trained QEMAH easily comes out best on official ratings which is no surprise as she escapes a penalty for her victories at Group 1 level in the Coronation Stakes and the Prix Rothschild at Deauville. She's tackling a shorter trip here but her quality should see her through. Realtra landed the All-Weather Fillies' and Mares' Championship over this trip here last month, when Ashadihan was close behind, and has won at this level on Turf while Mix And Mingle, who ran in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket a year ago, deserves another crack at this grade after landing a handicap on that track last month.
