        Verdict

        BAWAADI has shown enough to suggest he is good enough to win a race of this nature, while both Ausonius and In The Mood are likely to pose as the main dangers. The selection finished second on his sole start last season at Ascot running a little green in the process. He looks a horse that will have benefitted for another year on his back and he should have been well prepared for his return to the track and is sure to put in another solid performance. Ausonius ran twice as a two year old last season showing only a moderate amount in the process. He will have matured over the past twelve months and more can be expected from this well bred colt. In The Mood was taken over to Ireland on her second start last season to contest in a valuable sales race but was never a factor. She is now placed in a more realistic race and should be noted in the betting market. Bawaadi is a smart looking prospect and is worth staying on the right side of.
