It is hard to get away from the chances of Ouija Board in this fantastic renewal of this Group one event, Hazarista, Pongee and Quiff could be the three to chase her home. Ed Dunlop's filly speadeagled the field in the Epsom Oaks back in June, coming home seven lengths clear of All Too Beautiful, before following up in the Irish equivalent. The winning margin at the Curragh when beating Punctillious wasn't as prolific, but she did win with something in hand . Today's rival Hazarista was back in third in the latter contest when needing the outing after a lay off and could be the one to give the selection most to think about. Pongee comes here in good heart having chased home the much improved Astrocharm in a Group three event last time, another good performance is expected. Quiff is one of the least exposed runners in the line up and looks certain to improve on her recent effort at Ascot behind today's rival Punctillious. She moved a little scratchily to post and was a little outpaced but once leveling for the final 2f she really found her stride and finished best of all. So a race full of female talent and Ouija Board looks the pick of the bunch.
