Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies)

No comments available for this runner.

Alta Regina arrives on the back of a deeply impressive debut success, winning with 4¼ lengths in hand at Lingfield, and the combination of proven effectiveness at today's trip on good-to-firm and a high draw that can prove advantageous here make her a leading contender; the sole query is whether that single run leaves her exposed.

Unlucky not to win in Listed company last time, going down by a head at York, and that run confirms smart ability over today's trip and going; the rise in weight and high draw from stall 19 are the checks to consider.

Showed a good attitude to win a novice at York by a short-head last time out, and acts on the ground with the right distance profile, but cheekpieces are added here suggesting improvement is needed to compete at this level on a quick turnaround.

Bolted up by four lengths in a novice here last time in the style of a horse with plenty more to offer, and return to this course and distance on good ground looks ideal; the main risk is the 40-day absence.
