Verdict
This is tricky but a chance is taken on INFANTA BRANCA running up to her best on her return. Beaten six lengths in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies when last seen at the track in November, the Ballydoyle filly should be capable of even better this year. A winner over 7f here, Hazy Glow is another with lots of scope and she's preferred to the more recent winners at the track, Typhoon Lily and Harmonic Note. Standfield Lady also has plenty to find on today's terms and the consistent Precious Stone looks the chief threat having finished runner-up in Listed company here in November.
