Verdict

Sharp Dresser can come out on top over Propaganda, with Ashmal and Bochinche the other main contenders. Sharp Dresser has already shown that she is capable of winning a race, having been runner-up on both starts to date. Amanda Perrett's filly chased home Baylini on her all-weather introduction at Lingfield last October, and was absent for 11-months before again shaping with promise at Sandown last month, finishing second to Kaateb. With minimal improvement she should go close, and gets the vote over Propaganda. We can expect Luca Cumani's filly to show more as time goes on, and with Jamie Spencer on board, she should make her presence felt as well. Ashmal will surely get her head in front one day, but she is already starting to appear exposed, unlike Bochinche who could easily find a few more pounds in time. The market should be noted, but preference is for Sharp Dresser.
