In the opener, Honky Tonk Sally is selected ahead of Night Premiere and Divine Power. Blue Eyed Miss was only just caught on her Kempton debut and normal improvement from that should see her competitive today. Badoura cost 50,000 guineas and is an interesting newcomer, while Divine Power has been placed on each start and is another that gets a good mention. On the evidence of her first two maiden runs, Honky Tonk Sally, who ran in Group 2 company last time, looks the one to beat, while the 38,000 guineas purchase Ma Al Salamah, Stan Moore's Mythical Fosroc, who cost connections 45,000 dollars, and the 32,000 euros purchase The Dragon are other debutants to give some thought to. Finally, Night Premiere's Goodwood debut sixth marks him down as one to seriously consider but, for the selection, we return to Honky Tonk Sally.
