      In depth

      Verdict

      Baraari, Flam and Bell Island are the trio to look at here with Baraari taken to make up for some near misses. Bell Island showed some promise last year and ran well after a lay off to be beaten only six lengths. That was a decent effort, and sharper today in a moderate contest, Bell Island can play a part. Flam was highly tried in classy maidens at Newmarket and Doncaster last season and awasnt disgraced. The daughter of Singspiel can go well but may just need the run. Baraari, a daughter of Nayef, ran a blinder on her re-appearance to be just touched off. She appreciated the step up in trip and sharper here, can lose her maiden tag after a couple of near misses. Baraari can take this.
