In depth
Verdict
Not many of these arrive here with solid recent form to their names to a chance is taken that Zuleta can finally come good after a series of near misses. Calomera has a little to find with the selection on these terms but, along with Port Sodrick has to be given a chance of coming good in this company and should be capable of at least making the frame. Cloudingswell is another worth looking at, as she reverts to the Flat after some modest efforts over hurdles. This is her grade and any confidence from the betting ring may prove to be interesting. Port Sodrick has shaped as if he is worth a try at this trip of late and should be thereabouts if he turns up in the right frame of mind. However, like many of the rest, that cannot be guaranteed and he may find one too good. Which we think will be Zuleta, who has no doubts about her stamina or ability to handle the ground. Therefore, as she arrives here with at least a semblance of fair form to her name the daughter of Vettori is fancied to bring her maiden status to an end today.
