Nayarna can get the better of Ninefineirishmen and August Gale in this open looking maiden. The selection has only had the three runs but she put in her best effort yet last time and she looks to be on an upward curve. This looks quite a weak event and Richard Fahey may well have placed her to good effect. August Gale was disappointing last time when he was well beaten back in third behind Ramaad and he is beginning to look exposed. Ninefineirishmen would have claims on the pick of his form but he did disappoint last time at Newcastle and he will need to leave that running behind if he is to make the frame. Important News looks Mark Johnston's second-string on jockey bookings and is probably best watched, and we will stick with Nayarna as the pick.
