In depth
Verdict
ALMASHOOQA is impossible to oppose. A runner-up on her last three starts in better company, she's 15lb clear of her nearest rival Potent Embrace and will likely start long odds-on to open her account. The latter is, in turn, well clear of the modest Haidees Reflection on official figures while Mistiroc showed little on his debut at Doncaster.
