In depth
Verdict
Nico's Girl gets the tentative vote here with Imperial Lucky and Tolinis Girl rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Capital Lass last time out, that form looks fair in the context of this race and from what looks a fair draw she is taken to score. Imperial Lucky is a well bred filly that hails from a yard whose two year olds in good form so she should be noted in the market Tolinis Girl is a filly by Bertolini and has the best of the draw and is another that should be monitored closely. Of the remainder Furs N Gems ran well on her debut and is sure to have learnt from the experience but she has been done no favours by the draw and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Nico's Girl.
