Verdict

Miss Firefly gets the confident vote in the finale with Xtravaganza and Dubai Dynamo rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third on her debut behind Captain Dunne.That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and with improvement likely she will be hard to beat. Xtravaganza rates the main danger on her debut fifth behind Lady Avenger she is another that is sure to improve but she is bred to be suited by a longer trip in time and is taken on with this in mind on this sharp track. Dubai Dynamo is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Ellamu but he is more exposed than most and again he looks vulnerable. Of the remainder L'Art du Silence ran well on his debut but his best form is with more cut in the ground and for the winner we return to Miss Firefly.
