Verdict
It usually pays to follow an improving filly and Najaaba is one such animal and she can land the hat-trick at the expense of Game Guru and Mon Secret. This daughter of Bahhare gets a six pound penalty for last weeks facile victory over Ellen Mooney and it is very difficult to see this stopping her against what looks very similar company. Game Guru bounced back to form with a game victory over Sorbiesharry last month, but he may not be up to giving weight to the selection. The mile trip may just test the stamina limits of Mon Secret, but he was a gallant winner of a seven furlong event here in December. On a line through Sorbiesharry, Spy Gun has similar claims to Game Guru, Mutarafaa has beaten some decent enough types recently, however neither appear to have the scope of the selection and Najaaba is a confident choice.
