Verdict
This is a tricky one as none of the three runners can be ruled out. Divergence was just beaten on her sole run on soft ground and has a 7lb claimer in the saddle. Like unexposed Epsom winner Soryah, she also has a weight-for-age allowance. But the older filly PRINCESS CAETANI may be good enough to hold off her younger rivals as she's shown her best form on soft and heavy ground and hasn't done a great deal wrong in three runs so far this year.
