In depth
Verdict
This looks an ideal opening for Spinnette to lose her maiden tag. Bogged down in the Epsom mud, she will appreciate this better ground and can prove too strong for her rivals. Behra, out of a Group 1 winner can provide the main threat while another newcomer Number Ten and Saint Alebe may fight out the minor place.
