Lucky Kristale's last win came when she landed the Lowther Stakes in 2013. But she ran a cracker back on the Knavesmire when just touched off in a Group 3 last month and would be a threat to all on that form. She certainly makes more appeal than the likes of Naadirr, Dinkum Diamond and Ninjago who have been largely out of sorts. However, we just prefer the three-year-olds PORTAMENTO and Wet Sail with the former getting the nod even though he finished a head behind the latter last time in a Listed race at Chester. The Godolphin colt got trapped out wide and will be happier back on a more conventional track. Recent rain should help Cape Factor and she's not out of this on last year's form.
