Verdict

Joseph O'Brien's Sottsass filly NELLCOTE shaped well when a debut fourth at Gowran and with this longer trip also a plus she looks the way to go. Stellar Moment also has better days ahead of her and rates the main danger, although Miss Romagna also has the form to play a part if bouncing back from a below-par Gowran fifth.
