        Verdict

        Another tricky maiden where the betting market will be invaluable, and we expect Watchtower to attract plenty of support, however Pride Of Nation has already shown plenty of ability and he gets our vote, Hadaaf is also expected to be on the premises. Luca Cumani's runner has found just one two good on his two outings to date. The latest was behind the 76 rated Dakota Rain. That sets a decent standard in the context of this race and he has to go close today. Watchtower is a Godolphin newcomer and was sired by the superstar Dubai Millennium. The dam was a top class miler as well and so he has to be considered a major threat to the selection. Haddaaf has shown plenty of ability in three runs to date and should be capable of reaching the frame in this company. Of the others Life's A Whirl can also be given an excellent each-way chance, however Pride Of Nation appears to have the strongest form credentials and gets our vote.
