Making Music looks a good bet to land the four-timer here and she gets the nomination over Galipette and Valley of The Moon. The selection was all-out to beat Lake Chini last time but she seems to be improving with her racing and in her current rich vein of form it would be no surprise to see her progress again to score. Galipette is an obvious danger as she was a fair third behind Drifting Gold at Windsor last time and she is lightly-raced so she makes plenty of appeal. Valley Of The Moon ran another solid race at York last time when second behind Zahour Al Zasmeen but the simple fact is that she is proving hard to win with so the percentage call has to be to take her on. Digital has been in good form of late and he could prove best of the rest, but Making Music is a filly in form and she can win again.
