A tricky start for punters but Scentasia was impressive back at Yarmouth last month and has been favourite for each of her last four starts, winning twice. NEAROOZ has never raced on going this soft but she had excuses when disappointing at Goodwood in July and looks progressive overall so gets the nod ahead of Eva Maria, successfully upped to this trip at Ayr having won over a mile on good to soft previously. William Haggas’ pair, Ghaziyah and Shrewdness, are both worth a second look while Gallic was out of her depth last time in Listed company. Geetanjali looks the pick of the older fillies ahead of Escape The City.
