Danjet and Ooh Aah Camara have claims on the pick of their form but both have been on the go for some time now and it may pay to side with one of the less exposed fillies with Playful preferred to Strut. The last mentioned opened her account when landing a Windsor maiden earlier this month and is clearly progressing along the right lines but this may come a little to early for Roger Charlton's filly. Not surprisingly Ed Dunlop's Give Me The Night has improved with racing but needs to do so again to trouble the selection, while Irish raider Sweet Afton was well held on her previous try in this country although that was in a better race than this. Ed McMahon's two-year-olds have been running well of late so Nigella has to b respected along with Super Spint winner Lady Livius but the vote goes to Playful. Ralph Beckett's filly has done little wrong in three starts so far, most notably in the Queen Mary and, with further improvement to come she looks the one to be on.
