MIDDAY just failed to concede 5lb to the brilliant but ultimately flawed Sariska in this a year ago but went on to land three Group 1's before finishing runner-up in the Breeders' Cup Filly And Mare at Churchill Downs. She meets some very nice fillies here but should have no problems conceding her penalties and making a winning reappearance. Her trainer also runs Timepiece, who has won a couple of Listed events but hasn't proved herself at this level unlike Music Show, who tackles this trip for the first time but showed when staying on behind Goldikova in the Prix Rothschild over Longchamp's mile in August that the extra should hold no terrors. Sajjhaa produced her best runs on ground with some give at the backend of last season winning a Group 3 in Italy. She's capable of better while Myplacelater improved dramatically last year and always does her best.
