Verdict

A tough one to call, given the lack of reliable racecourse experience, so DUBAWI GULF is only a speculative selection ahead of Electra Star and Regal Heiress. Opera Dancer is also worth bearing in mind, as she posted an improved effort last time out and is obviously going the right way. Regal Heiress - a Fillies Mile entry - has a likeable pedigree and, as she represents powerful connections support in the betting ring would be noteworthy. She is definitely one to monitor closely. Electra Star easily accounted for Kalahaag on debut at Newbury and looks to have a bright future. Today's extra furlong shouldn't be too much of an issue and big run is anticipated from the William Haggas-trained filly. However, Dubawi Gulf was unlucky to bump into a smart individual when she was introduced at Doncaster a fortnight ago but the experience will have done her the power of good. Kieren Fallon is again in the plate aboard the Ed Dunlop-trained youngster and, as he knows he is set to team up with a bright prospect, it would come as no surprise to see the partnership make this a test too far for the rest at this early stage of their careers.
