Verdict
Stellar Queen never threatened the winner when runner-up on the July Course here last month. She finished just ahead of OHEKA on that occasion but the latter ran green on her racecourse debut before making late headway and is taken to reverse running with that experience under her belt. Alwajd and Ultra Chic are likely improvers, with the former stepping up in trip, while Love You Grandpa and Flamenco Fan are both related to pattern race winners and preferred to Miss Carol Ann of the newcomers.
