        Verdict

        After placed efforts in maidens at Goodwood (twice) and Salisbury in her last three starts there would be no more a deserving winner of this maiden than Amanda Perrett's Key Virtue. However, the American-bred filly faces no easy task with some likely types in opposition. Among them are Sir Michael Stoute-trained Daliyana, a daughter of Cadeaux Genereux, John Gosden's once-raced Heronetta and Love Appeal, from the John Dunlop stable, who is probably better than she has shown so far.
