Ten fillies go to the post for the mile-and-a-half Group 2 that often features fillies who have bypassed The Oaks. Brandybend: well behind Crystal Zvezda in ten furlong Newbury Listed race latest with Entertainment and Pamona ahead of her. Curvy: winner of all three starts this term, latest the ten furlong Group 3 Gallinule Stakes beating Giovanni Canaletto. Has only encountered quick ground once when fourth to Pleascach on her juvenile debut. Entertainment: second in Newbury Listed race won by Crystal Zvezda over ten furlongs. Forte: well beaten in Newmarket Pretty Polly Stakes won by Jazzi Top over ten furlongs on seasonal bow. Gretchen: easy winner of only career start in fillies’ maiden race over a mile-and-a-half at Newmarket. Pamona: third in ten furlong Newbury Listed race won by Crystal Zvezda on seasonal debut when favourite. Pandora: third behind Star Of Seville in Musidora Stakes at York on second career start. Pleascach: winner of Irish 1000 Guineas last time prior to which she won the ten furlong Blue Wind Stakes and goes unpenalised in lower grade here. Wedding Vow: still a maiden, beaten favourite in the Lingfield Oaks Trial over a mile-and-a-half on latest start and fitted with blinkers for first time here. Zamoura: well beaten third in the Cheshire Oaks behind Diamondsandrubies on last start after winning handicap previously. Pleascach takes a step up in trip against a field that have mostly contested lesser events at ten furlongs. If she stays, she should win but that is reflected in her odds. This may be a race just to watch.
