A trappy maiden and as usual in these events the market will be very informative but the principals look to be Guarantia,Dragon Flower and Kaateb and the tentative vote is given to Guarantia. The selection has been well beaten in handicaps of late but this looks easier and under conditions that suit from s good draw she gets the nod. Dragon Flower rates the main danger on her latest seventh behind Rustic Flame, she is sure to have come on for the run and with her yard back amongst the winners she will not be far away. Kaateb is a gelding by Alhaarth and will not need to be anything special to take a hand in the finish. Of the remainder Takaamul has had plenty of chances but for the winner we return to Guarantia to small stakes.
