Verdict
Rated 105, FIREGLOW is the safest option as she is a proven Listed winner at Sandown and has placed in Group 3 company since. Mark Johnston's filly usually runs her race so today's opposition will need to step up markedly on what they have shown so far to come out best. Both Dubai Fashion and Haggle ran out convincing winners of their respective maidens last time and are preferred to the other recent maiden winners Hells Babe and Khismet. Justice Angel is more exposed having won a handicap at Salisbury last month while Rioca beat Peru by only a nose in a handicap at Pontefract earlier. Aqua Libre ran well in a decent nursery here last time and could go well.
