Desert Queen (5/2), Happy Diva (7/2), Rene's Girl (4/1), Got Away (4/1), Antartica De Thaix (9/2), Mariah's Legend (33/1)
There is probably less between these mares than official ratings suggest, The likelihood of a decent gallop with Rene's Girl and Desert Queen in the lineup may set this up nicely for last year's winner ANTARTICA DE THAIX. The Ditcheat mare has done all her winning in February/March and a rare error at the last gives her reason to overturn recent form with Got Away. Oliver Sherwood's French import is not as well treated by the weights this time, but she is clearly improving and is feared along with Happy Diva. The seven-year-old has landed her last two races in good style in accounting for subsequent winners on both occasions.
- Antartica De Thaix
- Got Away
- Happy Diva
