Forecasts

So Mi Dar (10/11), The Black Princess (11/8), Queen's Trust (6/4), Smart Call (5/1), Chain Of Daisies (10/1), Blond Me (11/1)

A tremendous contest in prospect which should rest between Queen's Trust and SO MI DAR, with the latter preferred. While Sir Michael Stoute's filly produced the most valuable win among this field, she has generally found winning more difficult than John Gosden's four-year-old. Had it not been for the slip-up of an opponent at Chantilly then she could be going into this unbeaten and she seems to have all bases covered. Smart Call is clearly interesting after three South African Group One successes and further improvement is entirely possible, a comment which can also be attributed to Chain Of Daisies and that pair should be get competitive.
