This is quite trappy and we will side with Littlemisssunshine to get the better of Rocking and Piece of My Heart. The selection ran well when sixth behind Elletelle at Ascot last month in a Group 2 race and now that she is dropped to this grade she should take plenty of beating, especially as she remains relatively unexposed and she has ground conditions to suit. Rocking won her maiden in decent style last time but this is a step-up in class for her and she will need to show significant improvement if she is to get her head in front. However, she has only had two runs and she is clearly going the right way. Piece Of My Heart finished behind our selection time but she was denied a clear run that day so she could be capable of better here. However, Littlemisssunshine should have too much class for her rivals here and she gets the vote.
