Forecasts

Dubai Beauty (11/8), Peach Tree (6/1), Dutch Treat (7/1), Accordance (11/1), Fleeting (12/1), Star Terms (12/1), Sand Share (14/1), Magnetic Charm (16/1), Divinity (16/1), Miss Celestial (25/1), Sweet Pearl (40/1)

Verdict

Both Sand Share and Dubai Beauty made promising winning debuts, with the latter undoubtedly sporting the sexier pedigree (daughter of Frankel). However, both horses need to take significant strides forward (entirely possible) in this much stronger race. Accordance (second) and Magnetic Charm (sixth) are closely matched on their Prestige Stakes form so it'll be interesting to see which of the duo is best suited by today's extra furlong. Therefore, the likeliest winner would appear to be the Aidan O'Brien trained PEACH TREE. She got the better of her stablemate Fleeting in a 1m Group 3 at The Curragh, only to find the 107-rated Just Wonderful stronger.
  1. Peach Tree
  2. Accordance
  3. Fleeting
