Verdict

A good Group 3. SWEET MEMORIES and Sea Theme could both be very good after scoring in listed company on only their third starts and look the pair to focus on, with a narrow vote going the way of the former under Frankie Dettori. The selection's stablemate Running Lion should also have a part to play back at the scene of her Pretty Polly win in the spring.
