BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS She Got The Look shaped as though a stiffer test of stamina would suit when staying on for third over an extended 9f at Wolverhampton last time, but she may have to give best to TYPEWRITTEN here. Andrew Balding’s filly took a step forward from her debut when second over this course and distance last time and could build on that performance. Opticality is interesting after a couple of solid efforts over a mile at Kempton, while Cerulean looked flattered by an official rating of 75 when struggling on his UK debut but could be capable of better in this.

PLAY SMARTER SHE GOT THE LOOK left her debut well behind when third at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago and this could be a good opportunity for her. Cerulean shaped as if needing the run on his British debut here and sets the standard on his French form, while the well-bred Kaahira is one to note on her belated debut.
