Verdict
Maha Dubai is given the vote ahead of Filun and Simone Martini in this handicap. The selection is still on the up grade after running well on all three outings to date. She ran well enough from a good draw at Chester last time out when second to My Aunt Fanny. She steps up in trip here which ought to be in her favour and with that in mind she is difficult to oppose. Filun showed a great deal of improvement when finishing third in what looked like a decent maiden at Newbury last time out. She was a big price that day and is one to note in the betting market here. Simone Martini has run three times without ever looking like winning and another place prospect is about as much as can be expected once again. So for the winner we return to Maha Dubai.
