Verdict

Consensus De Vega has placed twice over this trip and the Newmarket raider will be fancied to open her account today. She makes more appeal than the equally-exposed Celestial Star but EMIRATES EXPRESS is a half-sister to two winners, including the useful Outbox, and it would be no surprise to see this daughter of Dark Angel make a winning debut.
