STRAWBERRYDAIQUIRI can get punters off to a good start; the list of dangers is headed by Please Sing and Say No Now. Sir Michael Stoute's filly has done everything that has been asked of her so far and she looked like one to stay on the right side of when she beat Balaagha at Ascot last month. She is clearly a filly on the upgrade and it should pay to stick with her. Say No Now chased home our selection at the start of last month and she could be of interest if she is allowed an easy lead as she does like to dictate from the front. Please Sing would be a leading light on her best form as she won the Cherry Hinton as a juvenile, but she has not really gone on from that. However, she did shape with a bit more encouragement last time at Bath when she was second behind Anabelle's Charm and it will be interesting to see if she can build on that today. Clive Brittain thinks a lot about Nashmiah but she was outclassed in Group One company at Goodwood earlier in the month and this is a more realistic level for her today. We will stick with Strawberrydaiquiri as the choice.
