In terms of form two stand out here with POLASTRI given the slight edge after producing a promising second at Catterick on her debut although she will have to cope with this drop back to 5f after debuting over a furlong further. Mirror Kisses visibly improved through her debut effort at Sandown and looks the main danger to the selection with further progress sure to be forthcoming. Chica Bonita looks to be the pick of the Johnston duo despite being a newcomer, the yard having a good record with debutant 2yo’s this year. Suntory Star and Virginia Plane are worth watching with an eye to the future for their prospects in nursery company which is surely where they will be headed next.
