Verdict
A chance is taken with Moon Sister, who is selected in preference to Miss Rochester and Isle Of Capri, who both come here on the back of convincing wins and have to merit respect. That said Sea Chorus and Muffett's Dream also won last time out and are others that can help to make the market. However, both need to keep improving and have stiffer tests on their hands. Isle Of Capri has the stamina for the trip and has done nothing but improve since her stamina has been put to a greater test. The form of her Windsor success has taken a number of knocks, though, and she is not one to be going overboard with at cramped odds. Miss Rochester has made good progress this season and deserved her win at Newbury earlier in the month. Sir Michael Stoute's filly is on the upgrade and she represents the biggest threat to the selection. However, Moon Sister is also shaping up nicely and, as her form with subsequent Listed race winner Suzi's Decision reads very well, the daughter of Cadeaux Genereux edges the nomination as the one to be on today.
