The way PIQUE' stuck to her task at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago strongly suggests there's more to come as her stamina is drawn out further here, so she's the most appealing option. Dancingwithmyself and Miss Alpilles were both unsuited by being held up in steadily-run races last time and they could be the main dangers.
