Verdict

Excellent Times beat plenty of these at York last time, and the vanquished have questions to answer again, but Tim Easterby's filly was springing a massive shock, and it remains to be seen whether she can repeat the effort. As such, ASTROLOGER is preferred given she keeps responding to the handicapper's attempts to stop her, and she looks the safest option on balance. Dance Diva isn't one to give up on bearing in mind her juvenile promise, and she completes the shortlist.
  1. Astrologer
  2. Excellent Times
  3. Dance Diva
