Backing fillies that finished down the field at Royal Ascot can be a quick route to rags, so only a small stakes investment is recommended with Sweet Applause, even though she sets the standard on the form book. Lunar Romance and Jessica Mary are others that are open to improvement, while support for interesting newcomers Identity and Kutanga would be noteworthy. However, Sweet Applause has to be the logical choice on this occasion, as she just has the edge in terms of experience. The daughter of Acclamation ran a blinder from a poor draw in the Queen Mary Stakes and, assuming she has thrived in the intervening period, she is expected to be very hard to get the better of this time around.
