Verdict
First time blinkers may bring about some improvement from Sentimental Value, but she has the worst of the draw to overcome. Delighted is better than she has shown so far and looks the one to beat. Courageous Duke has plenty of ability and will ensure the fillies do not have it all to themselves.
