Unless there is something special amongst the newcomers, this looks between Anaverna and PICTURE PERFECT with the vote going to the latter. The pair met in a Group 3 over today's trip at the Curragh last season when David Wachman's filly came out on top though she could only finish sixth. The positions were reversed when they met again at Cork a fortnight ago but both found the 1m1f on testing ground too much to handle. The John Oxx newcomer Bizarrely is related to a host of winners including Group 3 winner New Frontier and is definitely one to note while Just Rio showed a little promise behind Blue Dahlia at the Curragh.
