Forecasts

Cardiff By The Sea (13/8), Wearing Stars (3/1), White Smoke (5/1), Sparky Sparky (6/1), Thenandnow (6/1), Starman Tom (7/1), Cashel Blue (16/1), Fate's Gambit (18/1), Merry Blacksmith (33/1), Ace King Queen (66/1), Classical Symphony (150/1), Snap Decision (300/1)

Verdict

CARDIFF BY THE SEA didn't give her running on final 2-y-o start but anything close to a reproduction of her fourth in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot should see her break her maiden. Sparky Sparky is the one in here that looks open to the most improvement.
