Verdict
Lady Zephyr, Queen Soraya AND Golden Bay look the three to concentrate on in this mares only race and the confident vote goes to Lady Zephyr. The selection was a good third behind Ldalko in a grade 2 affair race last time and need only run up to that mark to score. Queen Soraya rates the main danger she is held in high regard and won well last time out when defeating Leroy's Sister she is sure to improve but will need to do so to defeat the selection. Golden Bay is another worthy of respect she was a fair second behind Fleetwood Forest last time but she looked very one paced and may be seen to better effect so she is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Stock Dove is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Lady Zephyr who looks to have plenty in hand.
