Verdict

Princess Ileana holds all the aces here and can score from Startolini and Wanchai Night. The Karl Burke-trained selection has improved for three starts so far and looks to have been found a winning opportunity here. Her Windsor run behind Pelican Key last time reads very well in the context of this race, her yard is still in form and she can score. Startolini has also taken well to racing but has not achieved anything like as much as the selection in three starts to date and was thrashed when stepped up to 6f last time. In theory she should be better over further, but she has a bit more to prove before becoming the subject of our hard-earned. Wanchai Night has run green on a couple of starts so far but should be getting the hang of things by now and we'd expect her to be on the premises this time around, but Princess Ileana has her opportunity here and can get off the mark.
