        Verdict

        Sabratha makes her nursery debut from a mark of just 59 and given connections then market support would probably be significant, though we prefer to side with RED OLEANDER. Another from a notorious stable, the Pivotal filly is bred to go very well at this trip and beyond, while there is every chance that she can act on the surface. A mark of just 50 gives her plenty of scope for this sphere and first-time blinkers can give her the edge. Key West represents a red hot yard and has a similar sort of profile to our pick, though he has to concede to her over a stone. Alensgrove is another going the right way, though Red Oleander gets the nod.
