The usual motto of watch the market applies here and on our shortlist, Caroline Blini is narrowly preferred to Talk of Saafend and Tan Bonita. Caroline Blini has already had one racecourse start and looks to be the pick of the Meehan duo on jockey bookings. Well drawn this evening, she looks to have plenty in her favour. Talk Of Saafend is a half-sister to Millenium Princess. The market is watched for clues. American bred, Tan Bonita has to be respected as an inmate of the Mark Wallace team. Similar comments apply. Seventh Cloud was ignored in the betting on debut and is passed over. Affirmitively missed the kick badly on debut and is much better than the bare form suggests. Ponder Anew is bred very much on sprint lines and is a rare Windsor runner for Middleham based trainer, Karl Burke. There are likely to be plenty of future winners coming out of this race and Caroline Blini gets the nod on this occasion.
