SWORD OF STARS (4) was no match for a smart type on debut but still finished second, and she would have taken a lot out of that run. She has been given time to get over that hit-out and is poised to go one better here. SPELLBOUND (1) has the experience advantage over the top 2 picks, and he was third in the Counties Stakes 3 weeks ago. He can settle just in behind the early pace and should be hitting the line strongly. Hard to beat. DASHING DIXIE (6) makes her debut with the advantage of the pole position. She has some good breeding and is in the right stable to be a top 4 chance. ZIPPIDY (7) makes her debut from a leading stable, and she is sure to be ready despite not been seen publicly at the trials. Check the market.
