Verdict
Dawaa started off in handicaps off a mark of 71 and absolutely sluiced in at Nottingham. Not surprisingly the assessor took a dim view and she's now on 85. Blossomtime completed a fast-ground double then was a bit unlucky at Newmarket. She didn't stay an extra furlong back there last month and if handling the going should get into contention. SIXTIES SUE has already had a dozen starts and won twice. She's mainly competed at a higher level than this and is a very good yardstick so gets the vote. Electra Voice looked to be going the right way before a poor run in a Newmarket nursery though she pulled much too hard while Addicted To Luck showed her preference for soft ground at Brighton last week where she gained a surprise victory in a nursery. Lady Nayef's best run came in heavy going so if the ground eases further she would have to be considered.
