Floods Of Tears made a pleasing debut at Haydock and looks the best of those to have raced, however it is newcomer POLEMICA, a half-sister to the decent Safari Sunrise, who gets the vote ahead of Opera Winds and Anasy. The selection cost 90,000 guineas and represents a stable who whilst nor renowned for their debutant winners, can get one ready, and the runners that he is sending out this month are going well. Passage To India and Rag And Bone have both shown signs of ability in two starts apiece, Volochkova should improve for her first start, whilst the step up in trip should suit Floods Of Tears. False Modesty, a half sister to Spy Glass, Anasy, a $175,000 US-bred filly, and Opera Wings whose dam is a half-sister to Bankable, all strike as newcomers capable of playing a hand, however it is Polemica who gets the nomination.
