John Gosden's newcomer Vistaria is given the nod here over Fair Sailing and Oat Cuisine. The selection is certainly bred in the purple being a full sister to the top class miler Obseravtory and prolific winner Star Magnitude. This opposition is not the strongest and she looks the best option. Fair Sailing is from a yard that does well here and she showed enough on her debut to warrant plenty of respect this afternoon. Oat Cuisine is certainly improving with racing and will be difficult to keep out of the money. Speaking of money, the market will be very important here, but we expect Vistaria to attract plenty of support and she gets our vote.
