Verdict

Elaala can win this at the expense of Thehonourablelady and Donatessa. The selection was pulled up at Weatherby when well touted for. She was going into he race in fine order but ran no kind of race. If being forgiven that performance and bouncing back to form she can be a live threat here. Mares can throw in the odd bad run and if a line is drawn through it then we take her to get back to winning ways. Thehonourablelady carries a penalty for winning at Sedgefield last time out. She won back to back races earlier in the autumn and comes into the race in fine fettle albeit running off a career high mark. Donatessa is less exposed than most with only three runs under her belt. She has been knocking on the door on each of those outings and will be winning shortly. Whether she has the experience to get the better of her rivals today remains to be seen but she still worth looking out for in the betting market. But for the winner we return to Elaala who we hope can get back to winning ways.
