Verdict
Cassiara continues to frustrate punters with a string of near misses, and whilst Jamie Spencer looks to hold an obvious chance, we will instead plump for Comma ahead of Princess Taylor. The selection was disappointing last time out when a beaten favourite and will need to bounce back from that effort, however the feeling is that there is better to come. That contest was run at a slow tempo which didn't suit Sir Michael Stoute's filly and given a truer tempo today, she can come out on top. High And Dry contested a better race than this one last time out and wasn't beaten far so she must rate a danger, as must Cassiara who is very consistent but tends to find at least one too good; however Jamie Spencer has a knack of improving a horses confidence and having ridden her once, he may know the key to her now. Princess Taylor is consistent and should come on for her seasonal reappearance, whilst Fealeview Lady has ability but needs to bounce back from a poor run when last seen at Newmarket. All in all this looks competitive, and the nomination falls upon Comma.
