Verdict
Makaaseb, Musical Bar and Raymi Coya are three worth noting with our vote going to the last named. Raymi Coya looks the pick on the form after her latest win against Group 3 company at Newmarket when beating Step Softly by half a length. That was her highlight to date but as she still looks progressive you could say that this a is a drop in grade so if producing her best then she will take all the beating. Makaaseb has her first run of the season. She was eye catching on her debut when scoring at Newmarket so much so she was sent off favourite to win a Group 2 at the same venue thereafter. She ran nearer last than first on that occasion but with another year on her back she may well of trained on so any market support should be noted. Musical Bar made all to win on her debut at Newbury recently. It was obvious that she knew her job first time of asking and with further improvement still to come any moves in the market should once again be noted. But for the winner we return to Raymi Coya.
