Galway

A fascinating clash between two fillies who have achieved the same rating (103) in sharply contrasting fashion. Paddy Twomey's runner BLACK CAVIAR GOLD (nap) was a Group 3-winning juvenile who has trained on well. She can see off a likely challenge from the ultra-progressive Meriden who has gone up 46lb as a result of four handicap wins and a Listed success. The pair appear to have the measure of Pivotal Attack. La Brodeuse can take a share of the money if recapturing the form of a Lingfield second. [Alan Sweetman]
