Verdict

This could go to one of the newcomers, AD LIB making plenty of appeal on paper out of a Group 3-winning mare and representing a yard capable of readying one first time out. Fellow debutant Palace Legacy also commands respect, while it would be no surprise if Zarakova were to leave her first effort behind.
