Verdict

Minister Of Mayhem showed the benefit of his opening effort with an eye-catching run over 7f here in October and will know much more this season. TOOREEN LEGEND looked very green on his debut but produced a fine run when staying on steadily behind Sacred Dragon and normal improvement will see him hard to beat. Pearl Of Africa showed some potential here in August and her two subsequent runs came on very heavy going. She looks the type to do better in her second campaign. Zadawan may do best of the newcomers.
