Three runners share the top rating heading into this thirteen-furlong contest at Down Royal, yet Narlita is preferred on the basis of a progressive profile that suggests she has more improvement to come than her joint-rated rivals. Navy Waters and Denim And Diamonds are the most obvious dangers, both rated level with our selection and capable of making this competitive, while Ankara, just two pounds below, warrants respect in a field of ten on good ground. The case for Narlita rests on the conviction that she is still on the upgrade, and with that trajectory in mind she is the one to be on.
