Verdict
The betting should be watched with a great deal of interest here so only a tentative vote goes to Shanghai Lily ahead of a number of possible options. Looking at the field. Alula is an In The Wings half-sister to high-class sprinter Mind Games, while Gold Queen cost 120,000 guineas. Park Approach is related to decent winners; Sir Michael Stoute trains the 330,000 euros purchase Shanghai Lily, while Amanda Perrett is the licence holder for the well-bred This Is My Song. Add to the list Romanova, a daughter of Grand Lodge, plus the fact that you should watch the betting with regard to Ponente and Scent, then it all adds up to an intriguing race. Once again, the selection is Shanghai Lily.
