Verdict
STRAIGHT SETS steps up in trip once again in a bid to add to her sole victory tally and her style of racing suggests she will relish the ten furlongs here. Having found Effigy too strong for the second time in succession last time, she arrived there quite easily but does not have too many gears to run through in the closing stages. Bavarian Nordic and Moonstreaker are closely weighted on their form over course and distance last time out. This race does appear a stronger one to the contest they competed in recently. Prince Evelith and Highland Love are others that have chances on picks of their form but Straight Sets is selected to win the finale.
