Verdict
Early Evening gets the confident vote here with Majestic Halo and Spirit of The Fen rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Sabah last time out, that form has since been franked and under similar conditions here she will be very hard to beat . Majestic Halo rates the main danger on her latest third behind Gelder but the suspicion is she will be seen to better effect over a longer trip and is passed over for that reason. Spirit Of The Fen is another that could go well on her latest fifth behind Sabah but he overall profile leaves her with a little to find. Shamina is a well bred Danehill filly, full sister to 1m1f winner Dane Dancing. and should be noted in the market but the suspicion is she may just need the run and with this in mind for the winner we are happy to return to Early Evening.
