Verdict
MEEZNAH is sure to have learned a lot form her Newmarket debut and is fancied to get the better of newcomers Principle Role and Mujdeya. Support for Aktia also seems likely given the success of the Kieren Fallon/Luca Cumani partnership. The performance given by Miss Antonia in the previous race will give a good indication regarding the standing of the former champion jockeys mount here. Mujdeya is bred to get further so it will hardly be a disaster is she's in need of this experience. Still, she represents powerful connections and is one to keep on the shortlist. Principle Role is related to a number of winners and also takes the eye as one to consider if the market vibes are positive. Henry Cecil has a 24% strike-rate with his juveniles this season, so it's feasible to expect a big run from this stoutly-bred filly. However, Meeznah, who was just behind Tabassum (third in a Group 2 on Saturday) on debut, sets the standard on the evidence available. One of the more expensive purchases, Meeznah created a very favourable impression at headquarters and is likely to be very hard to beat if she steps things up a notch this afternoon.
