Another competitive field goes to post for this listed race and the main protagonists look to be Hector's Girl, Cala, Furaat and Zayania and we will take a chance on Hector's Girl. The filly from the Sir Michael Stoute yard was well beaten in a group one race at Newmarket last time behind Russian Rhythm. However this is much easier and with conditions in her favour she will be hard to beat. Cala rates the main danger she was a good fourth behind Golden Nepi in a group One in Italy last time out and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. Furaat won a maiden in good style last time out but this looks more competitive. Of the remainder Londonnetdotcom would have a chance on her best form but has not progressed as expected so we are happy to side with Hector's Girl.
