Verdict
Quenelle D'Or is top rated here having won at this level at Saint-Cloud last September but she hasn't had the soft ground she needs in her three starts this season. The three-year-old PERFECT ALIBI couldn't match strides with Derby runner-up Hoo Ya Mal in the Group 3 March Stakes at Goodwood but looks to be improving while Aidan O'Brien wouldn't be sending Bellewstown maiden winner Ark for this unless convinced she had progressed fast enough to get into contention. Viola had Strawberri in second when landing a Goodwood handicap and should confirm the form on these terms while Goolwa has won at this level over the trip at Bath.
