Verdict
Perfect Calm is going the wrong way and stablemate EQUITISSA makes more appeal. Unfancied on her latest start over track and trip, she still managed to finish a respectable third and can open her account taking on fillies only today. Oilinda didn't have an obvious excuse for fading tamely away when sent off favourite at Hamilton last time but her earlier form including a maiden win at Newmarket makes her the obvious danger. The remainder are hard to fancy with Lexi's Dancer perhaps the best of them dropping back in distance.
