The vote here goes to Magic Peak ahead of Balloura and Dance A Daydream. A 230,000 guineas daughter of Danehill, Magic Peak showed plenty of promise when second on her juvenile debut and, with her stable in very good form, she looks to be a major player today. Balloura showed promise on both starts last season and, in a race that lacks strength in depth, looks set to go well today. Bride To Be showed promise on her debut on the all-weather 44 days ago and holds claims, while the well-bred Dance A Daydream should surely improve on her debut effort last year. Kinvara Lass hails from the in-form Luca Cumani stable, so watch the betting. The likes of Atwirl, Maria Antonia, the Henry Cecil-trained Stepping Stones, Barry Hills' Vino and Royal Fantasy, who is bred to progress this season, are ones to watch in the betting but, overall, the vote goes to Magic Peak.
