Smart horse. Five wins from 18 Flat runs. Respectable 3¾ lengths second of 6 to Master of The Seas in Woodbine Mile at Woodbine (8f, good, 415/100) 49 days ago. Career-best effort when runner-up in this race last year.

Smart filly. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 1151/100, career best when winning 8-runner First Lady Stakes at Keeneland (8f, firm) 28 days ago by head from In Italian. Well-run race 1m will suit.

Smart horse. Good 1¾ lengths fifth of 12 to Elton Barows in Group 2 Mainichi Okan at Tokyo (9f, good to firm, 194/10) 27 days ago. This looks too tough.

Very smart filly. Didn't need to be at best when winning 9-runner Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland (9f, good, 131/100) 21 days ago by ½ length from Lindy. 1000 Guineas winner prior to that and this 3-y-o demands a place on the shortlist.

Very smart mare. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Excellent nose second of 12 to Elton Barows in Group 2 Mainichi Okan at Tokyo (9f, good to firm, evens) 27 days ago. Japanese mare looks the one to beat.

Very smart filly. Career best when winning 14-runner Prix de la Foret (27/1) at Longchamp (7f, good to firm) 34 days ago by ½ length from Kinross, driven out. Return to a well-run 1m not certain to suit.

High-class gelding. 3 wins from 6 runs this year. Creditable short-head second of 9 to Up To The Mark in Turf Mile at Keeneland (8f, firm, 123/100) 28 days ago, clear of rest. Very likely to give his running.

Forecasts

Songline (10/3), Master Of The Seas (7/2), Mawj (9/2), Gina Romantica (15/2), Casa Creed (8/1), Kelina (9/1), More Than Looks (16/1), Shirl's Speight (20/1), Du Jour (20/1), Exaulted (20/1), Win Carnelian (25/1), Astronomer (33/1), Lucky Score (66/1), Masteroffoxhounds (66/1)

Verdict

SONGLINE brings very smart Japanese turf form to the table and, getting weight from most, she's just about the most persuasive option. Godolphin-owned pair Master of The Seas and Mawj head the opposition in a race very likely to go the way of an overseas runner.
