Verdict

BOSSY BENITA (1) was well ridden here last time out to win the G3 Mannerism Stakes but put up a solid number there and this doesn't look any harder at all. She's got a bit of weight but should land in front and give a huge sight once more. MERRIGOLD (2) is off a let up for this, last seen chasing home Taken over 1 ¹/16m. Fancy 7f is her best trip and she gets in quite well with 120lbs. TEINE AULELEI (7) got home well fresh in the Inglis Sprint over 6f, beaten three lengths. This trip will suit better and she's always promised a bit. BETWITCHERY (9) is racing well having won two of her past three. She drops 11lbs and can measure up. YUM (8) ran well fresh behind a good filly in Educated and can improve up in trip.
