STACELITA has been back to her best on her last two starts and is the one to beat. The daughter of Monsun gave Midday an almighty fright in the Nassau before beating Antara at Deauville last time. With confidence restored she's the one to beat. The Godolphin filly renews rivalry and has to be feared while Board Meeting was only a length adrift of that pair at Deauville. Lily Of The Valley, a stablemate of the selection, is improving fast and could htit the frame but Rosanara had gone off the boil when we last saw her in July. Of the British raiders Nouriya has won Listed races on her last two starts but this is much tougher.
