Verdict

Course and distance winner Champagnelifestyle looks the pick of the three runners to have won their only start so far but the Barry Hills-trained filly faces no easy task of following up here against TABASSUM, who gets the vote ahead of Atasari. Jim Bolger's filly should appreciate the drop back to seven furlongs having seemingly not quite got home over a mile last time and she has to be respected. Simon Callaghan's Dubawi Heights has shown a decent level of form but remains a maiden and of more interest may be Bryan Smart's Distinctive, who has won her last two starts in good fashion, latterly a Group 3 race at Ayr last month. Tommy Stack's Gibraltar Blue is lightly raced after just two starts, should improve for the step up to seven furlongs but would probably want softer ground and a better bet looks to be Tabassum. Sir Michael Stoute's filly has won both her starts so far in good fashion, most recently when good value for her success in the Oh So Sharp Stakes over course and distance, and she can make it three out of three over course and distance.
