In depth
Verdict
This looks to be a good opportunity for Sabiyah to put her previous experience to good use and she could hold too much for Allied Victory and the newcomer Victory Venture if she repeats her latest effort which came at Ripon. Sabiyah looked all over the winner a furlong out on that occasion but was just worried out it by the useful La Scala in the closing stages. The daughter of Machiavellian has previously hinted that her turn is not too far away and a more forceful ride from her in-form claimer may be enough to secure her first visit to a winners enclosure today. Sendenista is one to watch for next time.
