In depth
Verdict
John Gosden can continue his terrific start to the campaign with the impeccably bred Cozy Maria. She cost $3000,000 as a yearling and is a half sister to Breeders Cup winner Miss Alleged. The step up to 10 furlongs should bring out the best in her and she is strongly fancied to score with the minimum of fuss. Shalamantika, who was not knocked about on her debut last term and runs in the colours of the Aga Khan, is taken to follow her home.
