Yes Queen, Loves Talking and Solar Chant to match motors but there will be other pressure. Over to the Fillies now where LUANA MISS (1) looks to extend her unbeaten streak. The Equicast going on is a niggle, though she won impressively in the Supremacy and that looks the key formline. Fitter again now and can win again despite the wide alley. YES QUEEN (2) tired late in the race after being taken on up front, finishing just behind Luana Miss. She'll roll forward from the wide draw and the Tongue Tie going on is a key gear switch. She can improve on that performance and it wouldn't surprise to see her turn the tables. TALKANCO (3) was right there in the finish of the Supremacy. While drawn out again, she was closing off strongly last start and she may be better placed against her main dangers this time. Can put her best foot forward. GOD'S RAPTURE (5) was far too good over this track and trip 21 days ago and won't be far away. WONDERFULLY MADE (8) showed enough on debut and has claims off the inside barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Luana Miss can bring up the hat-trick.
