Chad Brown’s powerful yard is represented by a couple of interesting newcomers in Hamdan Al Maktoum’s Altaf and the Juddmonte-owned Publication. Neither are easily dismissed but this looks a decent maiden with MIMINA’S TEAM just preferred. A runner-up the last twice, she finished ahead of Too Sexy last time and had the measure of the Todd Pletcher-trained Cat Lady before that and the latter has subsequently gone close back here boosting the form in the process. Francisco D’Angelo’s filly gets the vote to go one better.
