Verdict
Soundstrings is by Oasis Dream and the first foal of an unraced daughter of Machiavellian. She's an interesting debutante while Corella and Wonderful Life are likely improvers. Delve must take all the beating if she settles better than she did when third at Goodwood but there's s chance that she could set the race up for AL HAWRAA, who stayed on strongly behind Lincoln Rocks on her debut at Beverley and will stay further than this in time.
