Verdict
Areeg has appeared to prefer more cut in the ground than this but if rain comes she could have frame claims. Gold Gleam cost $245,000 but hasn't looked like he is developing as connections would have hoped so far. Mottley Crewe cost a modest 5,000 guineas and has put in some consistent runs so far, but the drop back to five furlongs isn't sure to assist him lose his maiden tag. Accamelia may also prefer a longer trip. Erfaan has some useful North American relatives and Julie Camacho's gelding has to enter calculations after a much better try last time. BALLARINA receives the vote after some solid efforts last month and this front running sort could be poised to gain her first win against this field.
