1/1

Placed in a couple of Group 2 races earlier this season including when third over 1m at Royal Ascot (good) in June. Subsequently finished a good fourth in a Group 1 at Goodwood (good) and looks likely to play a leading role dropping in grade.

Forecasts

Queen Power (1/1), Award Scheme (9/4), Gold Wand (5/1), Queen (7/1), Chamade (7/1), Bharani Star (10/1), Alpinista (12/1), Shimmering (18/1), Kirstenbosch (20/1), Black Lotus (25/1), Lake Lucerne (33/1), Perfect Inch (50/1)

The drop in grade can see QUEEN POWER register a victory in this competitive looking Listed affair. The selection ran well in Group 1 company on her most recent start and she can get the better of French raider Queen who acquitted herself well at this level on her latest outing. Third place can go to Gold Wand who is another to have placed in this company last time out.
