A low draw isn't ideal but Gerald Mosse is experienced enough to steer REGGANE home; she may have most to fear from Pyrrha and Golden Stream. The high class filly has only had five career starts but was good enough to finish a good second to Ghanaati on just her third start in the Coronation Stakes. Her two subsequent runs, both on softer ground, were slightly disappointing but she should be more than good enough to account for this field. The experiment of dropping Golden Stream back to six furlongs hasn't worked but she's more effective over this trip and could play a hand now that she's got a run under her belt. Penny's Gift was behind her at Ascot in September and looks vulnerable despite having claims on the figures. Pyrrha faces a tough task on her first run in Pattern company but she was very progressive at the end of last term and doesn't have too much to find with a number of the opposition. Mosqueras Romance may have more to offer but this trip may not be ideal and Reggane should prove too strong.
