Verdict
Dame Margaret, Rahjel Sultan, and Aitana look the three to concentrate on in another tough race to call and the vote goes to Dame Margaret. The selection was a fair third behind Cold Turkey last time, that form has since been franked and a reproduction of that effort will make her hard to beat. Rahjel Sultan rates the main danger on his best form but he was well beaten in a claimer last time. Aitana is another worthy of respect as he was sixth in a similar race behind Two Of A Kind last time and this looks an easier race so he has definite place claims. Of the remainder Kustom Kit For Her is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but in a race full of imponderables we will side with Dame Margaret.
