LIGHT REFRAIN landed the Group 3 Summer Stakes in comfortable fashion at York last month, and should still have a bit more to offer at this sort of level, so she's taken to strike again. Gustavus Weston and The Highway Rat are considered big threats, with Romantic Proposal also capable of making an impact.
