Verdict

This race hasn't been won by a filly since Miss Andretti's success in 2007 but the male's will do well to win the this year's renewal. MARSHA has a solid profile coming into this and her Prix De l'Abbaye win just about sets the standard for the rest to aim at; provided she gets the breaks, she will be tough to beat. With plenty of pace in the contest, Lady Aurelia won't find this as easy as her success here last year. Profitable won this last year but the ground may have gone against him this time and it's stablemate Priceless who has stronger claims after a fine start to the season. Washington DC wasn't beaten far by the selection in the Prix De l'Abbaye last year and may hold the best chance of the colts.
