In depth
Verdict
TOPANGA stands out in this having just missed out over track and trip on her debut when ahead of Wellborn, who runs in the previous division. Sapphira finished well behind the selection so a newcomer may prove a bigger threat with 230,000 euros purchase Dancing Free preferred to stablemate First Kiss and both Queen Jean and Tiaraqueen others to keep an eye on.
