Sibling of Petteia (1m2f winner); needs considering with signs of encouragement in profile and her sire suggests the distance might suit.

Irish bred; this daughter of Frankel is having her first start under rules; can be in the mix as some good aspects to her profile.

Solid effort first time out here at 33-1 last month; first-time blinkers; should benefit for having a run under her belt.

Verdict
It looks a wide-open race - Humaira must enter calculations while Charleston Dawn could have a say. However, FLORAL FURY gets the nod. She is a very interesting newcomer with an eyecatching pedigree.
