Verdict
There are some really nice fillies contesting this Group 3. Mark Johnston has saddled the last two winners and puts up Dubai Fountain, who won her first two before finishing second in a Listed contest at Sandown with Setarhe just behind - Star Of Emaraaty is held on that run. Fly Miss Helen impressed at Newbury but faces a much stiffer task in this and won’t be much of a price. Danilova won her maiden over course and distance a week ago but SPIRIT OF BERMUDA won at Goodwood nine days ago, despite showing signs of inexperience. She can improve again to take this, though Seattle Rock could run well at bigger odds back over 7f having got outpaced in a Group 2 over 6f here last time.
