Naughty Thoughts may be able to land the finale with My Mirasol and Altos Reales the dangers. Tom Dascombe is an emerging trainer to keep an eye on and he has done really well with acquisitions from other yards. He hasn't had a great deal of time to work with Naughty Thoughts after buying her in the auction following her win in a mile seller here but it may have been enough to eke a little improvement out of the filly. This step back up in trip should be to her liking and she gets the vote. My Mirasol appeals as the likeliest danger following her game win here last month. She's only 2lbs higher tonight and has a leading chance in this company. There's a slight question mark about the trip for Altos Reales but she's running well and should be there or thereabouts at the line. For the winner, though, we'll return to Naughty Thoughts.
