Chetak who has shown form on all his starts to date is taken to score. The filly by Halling was a good second behind Machinist over seven furlongs here last time out and gave the impression this shorter trip will suit so is the TEAMTALK selection. Sister Sophia is related to winners in the U.S. and any market confidence would be significant. Resplendently showed enough on his debut when third behind Riverboat Queen to suggest he can win a race of this nature as long as he copes with the surface. Dragon Prince was a fair sixth in a maiden at Newmarket behind Blazing Thunder last time and if he has improved again he will not be far away. Lilian is by First Trump, from a shrewd yard and is also worth a look in the market. The market will also prove the best guide to the others that have not run.
