So impressive when landing the Sandringham at Royal Ascot in June, CREATE BELIEF is confidently expected to take this step up in class in her stride. Indeed, she holds Group 1 entries later in the season, so connections may be aiming even higher in due course. Neptune Rock has plenty to find on form, but she was a real eye-catcher last time and is preferred to Military Style for forecast purposes.
