Plenty of top yards are represented in this fillies maiden and we will give a narrow vote to Ravarino, Virginia Reel and Lightning Queen are two others to keep an eye on in the betting. Sir Michael Stoute's filly has a top class American pedigree and runs in the colours of the Gainsborough Stud. Those particular owners rarely have a poor runner with the Newmarket maestro and so she is expected to go close. Virginia Reel is a well bred daughter of King's Best and hails from a yard with a good line to two-year-old form. If the money comes for this one she will not be far away. Lightning Queen is another that has a superb American heritage and is from a yard in cracking form. Meanwhile the pick of the experienced runners could be her stable companion Lady Lafitte. All in all a tricky race with a lot of guesswork involved, but pedigree and connections sway us towards Ravarino.
