        In depth

        Verdict

        The vote here goes to Distinctive Look ahead of Manbala, Nojoom and You Call That Art. A half-sister to Playful Act, Distinctive Look catches the eye on breeding and would be interesting of supported. The Rae Guest-trained Is is a half-sister to a number of winners and might be one to watch for the future, but John Dunlop's Manbala should be considered today, along with Ed Dunlop's well-bred Nojoom, Brian Meehan's Solva and Barry Hills' Tawaafud. Finally, Richard Hannon's $135,000 purchase, You Call That Art, is better than she showed on her Goodwood debut and The Spread has something to like on breeding. Overall, though, the vote goes to Distinctive Look.
