        Verdict

        In a modest maiden, Binaa gets the vote ahead of Grand Ideas and Devine Command, with Pragmatica possibly proving best of the rest. The selection is having her first run in this country, and her first on the al-weather, but her Irish maiden form looks to be a good bit ahead of what the others have so far achieved and, particularly if there is a good market vibe for her, can score. Turning to the others and Augustine looked promising when making his debut as a two-year-old for David Loder, but injuries may have taken their toll. Devine Command has chances on the best of his form and Grand Ideas ran well over 10 furlongs here last time and might appreciate the drop in trip now. Pragmatica has shown some ability, but it equates to little more than selling-class form, a similar comment applying to Seldemosa. They can both be given place claims but, in a race that will not take that much winning, Binaa is taken to score, even though this trip might ultimately prove to be short of her best.
