In depth
Verdict
Of those with experience, Thakafaat and Singhalese make most appeal here, but they could be vulnerable to one of the newcomers and we will take a chance on Celtique, while Dancinginthedark can also go well. The Celtic Swing filly Celtique is bred to go well at this trip as a juvenile, being a half-sister to dual seven furlong winner Top Romance. She should not mind the ground if her bloodlines are anything to go by, and she will surely be fully wound up to perform first time. Dancinginthedark is another debutante who could go well, though she should perhaps show us more at three, while of the experienced pair mentioned, Singhalese has taken a couple of races to come to hand and can now go well, though Thakafaat performed with plenty of credit behind Road Rage first time and may have more to offer with that under her belt. Even so, neither are likely to have the scope of Celtique, who can score.
