Verdict

A race that's normally won by a 3-y-o and the Classic generation look to hold sway again. ETERNAL PEARL has come a long way in a short space of time having made her debut in April and with the ceiling of her ability unclear along with a tremendous attitude, she gets the vote. Emily Upjohn has a touch of star quality about her and a hood coupled with the move away from quick ground could see her get back on track, with stablemate Mimikyu also of interest.

  1. ETERNAL PEARL
  2. EMILY UPJOHN
  3. MIMIKYU
