PARNELLI's latest neck second behind Spielberg is strong form in the context of this maiden special weight, and he is going to take some stopping. Editor In Chief must be respected on debut given his connections, while Enough Nonsense makes some appeal too.

Verdict

FLUFFY SOCKS is progressive and performed well despite only finishing second at Belmont last time. Before that she beat Invincible Gal, who was deemed good enough to run in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf last time, at Pimlico and that is the form to concentrate on. Javanica is also noted.

Top Tip: Fluffy Socks (8)
Watch out for: Invincible Gal (13)

Verdict

It looked as though the penny had dropped with CONNECTION earlier in the year when he won at Oaklawn in April before finishing a head second at Churchill the following month. Freshened up during the summer months, he probably has a lot more to offer. King Parker and Great Power can also get competitive.

Watch out for: King Parker (2)
