Unless the betting speaks strongly in the favour of one or more of the newcomers this may develop into a straight fight between VANGUARD STAR and Lily Maguire, with a narrow preference for the former. Almendares is another who is unlikely to be too far away, while Rebecca's Girl is a newcomer who makes some appeal on paper.
