In depth
Verdict
Ian Mongan struck up a good relationship with Emaradia last time and the partnership are fancied to land a very tricky finale over Emperor Cat, Barras and Vampire Queen, who are expected to a have a real battle for the minor honours. Piccolo Prince also has claims on the best of his form but has a little to prove over this trip and may be best watched in jointly heading the racecard today. In contrast to Emaradia, who has put in some of her best performances over six furlongs and has already proved that she is an effective carrier of weight . The daughter of Emerati ran very well on her only other try over course and distance and she is the percentage call to build on the effort from what has traditionally been the best of the draw over the years. Emperor Cat has a good chance on these terms and will give Emaradia plenty to think about if she sees out the trip.
