Verdict
It'll be no surprise if MILLENNIUM STAR proves good enough on her belated debut. She cost 210,000gns, is a half-sister to nine winners including a trio of Group winners and her stable has a good strike rate at this track. Viva Diva made a promising debut at Nottingham when beaten only a couple of lengths and she's just preferred to Cape Rising, who improved last time to finish third at Hamilton. Elfaaten has a bit to find despite a better effort at Sandown in May but still makes more appeal than any of the remainder.
