The Platinum Queen

Selected at: 7/2

Not many two-year-olds can finish second in the Nunthorpe Stakes but The Platinum Queen managed to do just that last season. She also won the Prix de l’Abbaye at Longchamp two starts later and she’s entitled to improve as a three-year-old. That’s a scary thought and she could be a star over the minimum trip this season.
