Verdict

A good contest in prospect and although the bare form of her Ludlow wins is not the best on offer here, the step up in trip can help MELANGERIE improve and that might be sufficient to complete a hat-trick. Both If You Say Run and Midnight Tune would have decent claims if they can put disappointing last efforts behind them, while All Currencies and Sensulano are others that merit closer inspection.
  1. Melangerie
