The three against the field in this fillies maiden are Lilac Mist, Prithee and Steller Brilliant with the vote going to the last named. Second on her debut at Windsor behind Evolution Ex, Steller Brilliant looked a little green that day and will come on for the experience. She is bred for this trip and will get further in time but if progressing she is worth staying on the right side of. Lilac Mist is the most experienced in the field and has been slightly unlucky to have come up against some tidy horses this season to prevent here breaking her maiden tag. This could be the best opportunity she has had to date so is one to note. As is Prithee who has run with credit on both her two starts this season and looks certain to be in the winners enclosure some time soon. But for the winner we return to Stellar Brilliant.
