      Verdict

      Free Wind ended last season with an impressive victory in the Group 2 Park Hill at Doncaster and any further progress could see her competing at the highest level later in the year. But ESHAADA (NAP) has a run under her belt and is a Group 1 winner having landed the Champions Fillies & Mares at Ascot last autumn. Any cut in the ground will suit the Varian filly and she’s preferred to stablemate Believe In Love. Sea La Rosa won the Pinnacle Stakes over track and trip with Nell Quickly behind but has plenty to find on these terms with the selection while the Oaks fifth Kawida makes more appeal than Stay Alert and Invite of the remainder.
