We will nominate SAND VIXEN to get the better of Absolute Music and Piccadilly Filly. Godolphin are in good form at present and this filly ran with plenty of credit in a Group 3 contest at Ascot last time. She is clearly quite useful and now that she is dropped back into Listed company she is taken to get her head in front, especially as she will not be inconvenienced by this drop in trip. Absolute Music was only narrowly beaten in Listed company in France last time. She had run with plenty of credit at Sandown previously and she should be capable of getting competitive today. Piccadilly Filly won a maiden in good style at Lingfield last time so it will be interesting to see how she gets on now that she is upped into Listed company. Hairspray was a narrow winner over Blue Angel at Newmarket last time but this drop in trip is not sure to play to her strengths and she does have more on her plate here. There are plenty in with chances but the vote goes to Sand Vixen.
