G3 – 1409m – Turf

1

American Kestrel

Not won since 2021. Mixed results since. Well beaten in a Listed race in May. Unlikely winner.

2

Fast Response

Admirable performer. All six wins at 1000m or 1200m. Stays easy over 1400m. Best on soft ground. Good chance if ground suitable.

3

Internationalangel

Narrowly beaten in this race last year on fast ground, which she needs. Yet to hit form this season.

4

Jumbly

Bought for 1.25 million guineas as a 3-y-o after winning a G3 over 1594m. Not progressed but respectable runs in both G2s this year. A strong candidate.

5

Samedi Rien

Trained in Spain. Won 8 of 15. Interesting but a tough challenge.

6

Sicilian Defense

Trained in France. Won twice over 1400m at Listed level. Best on soft ground. Not ruled out.

7

White Moonlight

Raced over distances from 1400m to 2400m but thriving over 1400m, winning two Listed races recently. A live contender.

8

Breege

Went close in a G3 over this course and distance last year. Fine second of 29 in a hot handicap at Royal Ascot in June. Respected.

9

Dream Of Love

Useful on range of going and at 1400m and 1600m. Decent run in a hot handicap at Royal Ascot. In the mix.

10

Glenlaurel

Good runs in two Listed races at 1200m and 1377m, without winning. Not favoured by the weights.

11

Juliet Sierra

Won a G3 and fair run in a G1 over 1200m as a 2-y-o. Encouraging signs in a G3 last month. Step up to 1400m should help. Not ruled out.

12

Magical Sunset

Not progressed from a good 2-y-o season, without being disgraced. Needs to improve.

13

Matilda Picotte

String of fine performances including third in the G1 1000 Guineas Stakes in May. Valid reasons for the subsequent disappointing run. Best on soft going. Good chance.

14

Olivia Maralda

Able and in good form. Easily won a Listed race, then close up in a G3 at Royal Ascot last start, both over 1400m on fast ground. Soft going a negative.

15

Rage Of Bamby

Reached good standard as a 2-y-o. Well beaten in Listed race in April on return from a 203-day break. A risky option.

16

Sydneyarms Chelsea

Not seen since fair fifth in a G2 over 1400m last September. This will be a tough challenge.
