        Verdict

        Several of these ran in the Group 2 Cape Verdi over a mile in which WITH THE MOONLIGHT, runner-up in a Grade 1 at Belmont last summer, made an impressive track debut, staying on strongly off a fast gallop. She holds Ascot Brass, In Time, Katoucha and Kennella and the only realistic threat looks to be stable companion Tranquil Lady. She won Group 3's at Naas and Saint-Cloud for Joseph O'Brien last year but has produced her best form on ground with plenty of give over further.
