The Listed Aphrodite Fillies' Stakes has been taken by a three-year-old in six of the last ten years, most recently via God Given (2017), Worth Waiting (2018) and Dame Malliot (2019), so Roger Varian's CABALETTA can continue that developing trend in 2020. She retains plenty of potential, having run well in defeat to John Gosden's Franconia in the Abingdon Stakes here (1m2f) last month. Although weak in the finish (behind Makawee) in the Lancashire Oaks subsequently she does have a fine pedigree for this 1m4f trip, and could well be double the price of the Hoppings Stakes runner-up Virgin Snow. Of the older horses, the lightly-raced La Lune should be afforded maximum respect.
