Verdict
Not much for us to go on here but Practicallyperfect, Fractured Foxy, La Vecchia Scuola and Luscivious form the short list and we will take Practicallyperfect to score. Fractured Foxy has achieved the most of those in putting in a couple of relatively promising efforts on soft ground at Nottingham and Ripon, though she did not set the world alight. We may see more now on this quicker ground, but she may also be susceptible to a tuned up debutante. That could be Practicallyperfect, who comes from a yard getting into gear and who will appreciate this fast ground. Mark Johnston is starting her over the minimum though we expect her to be upped in trip after this. La Vecchia Scuola is another who will be upped in trip, but whose sire was a debut winner and who could go well. The major question she has to answer is whether she can act on ground this quick. Of the others, Luscivious is bred to go well as a juvenile and his yard had their first winner for a while on Tuesday, so could be coming back a bit. Watch ou for her in the market, but Practicallyperfect is the pick for us.
