Racing Post verdict
Third-partyJoliestar arrives at Ascot as a multiple Group 1 winner in Australia, unbeaten in three starts this season including a top-level double at Randwick in April, and her rating of 137 puts her clear of every rival in this 19-runner field. The form has already been franked on this very card, with Overpass — a horse she beat in that Randwick victory — finishing a close third earlier in the week, and she has demonstrated she stays further than six furlongs, which matters on this stiff straight track in good-to-firm conditions. Satono Reve is the obvious threat with a strong pilot booked and a luckless run in this race last year behind him, while Lake Forest showed plenty on his seasonal return and Powerful Glory must also be respected. **Joliestar** is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Joliestar
