Formscan - Stay Alert is officially the best horse in this line-up, but she hasn't won since September 2022 and is passed over on her first start of the season. Running Lion heads the early betting after her eighth in the Group 1 Champion Fillies and Mares last October but her best win so far was in Listed class, and a chance is taken on SILVER LADY. Lightly raced with just five starts, she won the Group 2 Cape Verdi at Meydan in January and looks all set for a successful season.
