Verdict
For this fillies' race, the short list contains Dubai On, Act Friendly and Postage Stamp, with the vote going to Dubai On. Postage Stamp is 10 pounds higher now than for her course and distance success but, despite the fact that she disappointed on Turf last time, she is lightly raced and should have more to come. Dubai On won both of her juvenile starts and is sure to come on for a pleasing reappearance effort at Ascot, while stablemate Act Friendly has a similar profile and can be forgiven a heavy-ground defeat last time. Adraaj has form enough to be given some thought, although connections have already resorted to headgear, and Lake Shabla has something to prove after a couple of disappointing runs. Finally, Indication improved to win on her all-weather debut last time and could be well-weighted, the best of Pirouetting's efforts afford her a chance, although this is her all-weather debut, buit Fusili and Giving do not look obviously well-handicapped at present. Once again, then, the vote goes to Dubai On.
