Verdict

Many top trainers are represented here including Sir Michael Stoute who runs both Elise and Riyalma, and Saeed bin Suroor who is also double handed with Tasjeel and Votsi. Out of the four mentioned we will side with Riyalma, Dream Rose is another expected to go close. The selection runs in the colours of the Aga Khan and is superbly bred by Selkirk out of a top class Khayasi mare. The market will provide more clues but with the heritage and the connections she has she looks the best option. Tasjeel is the choice of Frankie Dettori so this daughter of Aljabir should be the pick of the two Godolphin runners, but once again the betting should be a good guide. Dream Rose is the most exposed runner in the line up and has put in some very good efforts in defeat, including an excellent third to the highly regarded Royal Proposal. So a very difficult start for punters but if the money comes for Riyalma, she should be the one to oblige.
