Verdict
The short list for this race contains Marmooq, Nikki Bea and Midmaar, with the selection being Midmaar. There is no doubt that the course and distance winner Marmooq, Nikki Bea and Midmaar, who has won at this venue, all fare well on adjusted official ratings and, even though that can be a flawed way of looking at sellers, they can all go well and rate as the main players for us. Given that he is the best drawn of the trio, Midmaar gets the vote. Best of the rest might be Danawi, who ran well on Turf last time so comes into this in decent nick. Once again, though, the selection is Midmaar.
