Verdict

MIDNIGHT AFFAIR almost certainly would've finished closer to the winner granted a clear passage when second on debut at Newmarket and, with the likelihood of better to come from this well-bred filly, she looks the way to go. Ziggy's Phoenix wasn't disgraced when bidding for the hat-trick in a French listed race recently and is next on the list ahead of likely improvers Never Fear and Flora of Bermuda.
