VERDICT

1. SHIP OF DREAMS - (Sky Bet: 11/1)

A perfect match on the trends so has to be the selection here – Joseph O’Brien has sent her across and she looks set to run a very big race. Trends Rating - 100%

2. QAZYNA (7/1)

Not carrying as much weight as past winners but even so hard to ignore, with two wins already this season, adding a third wouldn’t be a huge surprise. Trends Rating - 83%

3. GANAYEM - (9/1)

With only 3 previous races, this filly looks sure to improve and can’t be left out of the equation – she only misses out on being a perfect trends pick by 2 days having raced 47 days ago. Trends Rating - 83%
