Verdict

A MIND OF HER OWN is the form pick here though it's a little disconcerting that she hasn't run since well beaten in the Goffs Million Mile last September. David Wachman's filly had earlier run Lillie Langtry to less than three lengths in a Group 3 at Naas, form that should be good enough for this. Dermot Weld introduces a nicely-bred newcomer in Truth Seeking, who is a half-sister to three winners and out of a winner in the USA. Jim Bolger's So Secret didn't show much in her two starts as a juvenile but she's bred to do better in her second campaign and is no forlorn hope. Prince Jock was last of three behind Emperor Claudius at Naas and looks vulnerable.
