Verdict

Love On Sight is selected ahead of Baltic Belle and Dr Dream. Love On Sight was third in the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes on her second run and anything like a reproduction of that puts her in with an excellent shout here. Baltic Belle has become disappointing but if she is anywhere near her best she holds a big chance. Chattan Clan has shown promise on each start, while Dr Dream is an interestingly-bred newcomer, being a 37,000 guineas purchase that is a half-brother to Cape Fear. With the others needing to improve, we return to the selection, which is Love On Sight.
