The two fillies representing Godolphin have the best form in the book. Charlie Appleby’s Agathonia has been thereabouts in both starts without threatening to win but DUBAI DUNES (NAP) went close to catching subsequent Class 2 handicap winner Pichola Dance over 7f here on her debut and Saeed Bin Suroor’s charge gets the nod on that form. The others with racecourse experience look to have plenty to find with Secret Soul and Piedita preferred while Penny Red is related to winners on the all-weather and makes more appeal than High Laugh of the newcomers.
