Hikmaa was catapulted up the weights after a fourth in the Rockfel at Newmarket and she never figured in a Group 3 back at the same track last time, though still finished ahead of Expressiy. Magnolia Springs made an impressive start in a maiden race over course and distance and could be anything but MOONLIGHT BAY is preferred. She travels over from Ireland after winning a handicap at Naas and Ger Lyons must think her up to this level. Miss Bar Beach should do better back over 7f today while Musical Art drops in class and Elysium Dream finished ahead of Escape The City when winning a sales race at Newmarket earlier in the month.
