Verdict
Acadian Angel finished ahead of Sulafah when runner-up over 7f here recently. Dusky Maid was also second at the track on her penultimate start while Multicultural ran well enough without threatening to win on her debut at Newmarket last year. But THE SKY IS BLAZING is likely to prove popular on her introduction given she’s a 240,000gns sister to Group 2 winner Endless Time and represents a yard in fine form. The Haggas' filly gets the nod to make a winning start.
