Will stick to my original thoughts - Stage Doll, Pennywest & Moonfire.

Field looks a little below par for a Grp II.

What chance the lightly raced Fatal Attraction with the pontiff on top?

Well if you fancy Stage Doll, you'd have to at least have a saver on the "pontif" ...but lightly raced maiden?, who knows, the girls can do funny things with a bit of sun on their backs, and it's forcast 30c tomorrow.

But MY choice for what it's worth is Kymtu

Thanks partypooper. Yes Kymtu has done nothing wrong. Also lightly raced & was running on OK last start over 2200M. Will include.
