There hasn't been a great deal of encouragement so far in the efforts of Masterson, Mr Marbin or Secret Sobriety so this should be a straightforward task for MIRSAALAH. James Tate's filly made a promising start at Newmarket and was then runner-up in a maiden auction event at Chepstow. She can make it third-time lucky unless the Roderic O'Connor colt Originality, who is a half-brother to two winners, is above average.
