Verdict
Just Like A Woman deserves a race but is arguably high enough in the weights and we prefer the claims of SILCA CHIAVE ahead of Clifton Dancer. The selection is hard to recommend on recent efforts but she has had excuses. Now dropped back to a nice looking mark of 87, this daughter of Pivotal should appreciate this easy ground and she is taken to add to her win tally of one at a nice price. Dubai Power was disappointing last time at Newmarket and has something to prove today, whilst Lady Aquitane is consistent but is struggling to get the head in front. Clifton Dancer wants quicker ground on the evidence we have seen, whilst Highland Daughter and Carcinetto are both proving expensive to follow. A tough fillies handicap, but we will take a chance on Silca Chiave.
