Skitter Scatter has solid form at pattern level, and promises to improve for the extra furlong, so deserves the utmost respect, but it was hard not to be impressed by the ten-length romp of GODDESS in a C&D maiden last time, and this impeccably-bred filly looks set for stardom. Secret Thoughts is a stablemate of the selection, and out of an Irish Oaks winner, so also merits inclusion on the shortlist.
