Snoqualmie Girl, Intense, Moonlife and Ave make up the shortlist here and preference is for SNOQUALMIE GIRL. David Elsworth has a seriously nice filly here and whilst her intrinsic value is in her broodmare future, she can add to her fair CV today. She was a Listed winner at Salisbury two starts back and whilst that form wasn't anything special, her subsequent two length second to the star filly Rainbow View is as good a piece of form as any in this line-up. Intense has a bit to find on official ratings but she won well last time beating the decent yardstick of Three Moons and she is open to any sort of improvement. Nashmiah has the highest rating in the line-up but Clive Brittain's Elusive City filly is a bit more exposed than some and whilst her recent run behind Sri Putra reads well, on a strict form line through Rainbow View she is held. Ave is another promising filly but she didn't beat much on the all-weather last time and this is indefinitely harder. Ballantrae has proven herself in nursery company, whilst Starlarks and Misdaqeya have both shown ability but the latter has that lateral Rainbow View form to overcome. Rose Diamond is yet another to consider however we will take a chance on Snoqualmie Girl.
