Verdict

LONE STAR has been much improved of late, making it 2 wins from her last 3 starts with another commanding victory at Ayr on Tuesday and, unpenalized for that success, she earns the vote. That said, fellow last-time-out winner Aazza was impressive herself when scoring over this sort of trip at Doncaster in January and is a big threat, ahead of On We Go.

  1. LONE STAR
