In depth
Verdict
Maundays Bay was fancied in a similar event at 1.05 here yesterday so wouldn't be qualified to run here if successful. Aidan O'Brien is trying his best to get son Joseph the apprentice title so the presence of the superbly-bred AMAZING BEAUTY is significant. The daughter of Galileo looks to have been found a winning opportunity in what is otherwise a moderate maiden. Elusive Express ran well enough in a strong event won by Dubawi Star here last month to get into the money here while Adiynara, another engaged yesterday, is one to note.
