In depth
Verdict
Estihlal, Sharoura and Amelia are three against the field in a wide open affair and the tentative vote goes to Estihlal. The selection won well last time out when defeating rise and although he has a penalty for that win he is taken to win again under conditions that suit. Sharoura rates the main danger he won this race last year and was a fair fourth behind Machinist last time. However he races off a much higher mark this year and for that reason he is opposed. Amelia is another that could go well he was a fair third behind Come Away With Me last time and races off the same mark here. College Queen was a fair second behind Enjoy The Buzz last time and is another with place claims but she barley gets the trip and for that reason she is opposed on this occasion. Of the remainder Roman Mistress is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market, but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Estihlal.
