Celestial Star (8/11), Consensus De Vega (1/1), Emirates Empress (2/1), Negwah (5/1), Kitty Pi (125/1), Royal Princess (125/1)

CONSENSUS DE VEGA got back on track when runner-up last time and she can build on that effort to get off the mark. The Roger Varian-trained filly was suited by the return to 7f, so she looks the one to beat with the promise of more to come after only 4 starts so far. Emirates Empress is one to note on paper and the debutante can give the selection most to think about, with Celestial Star the pick of the rest.
