Haajes could easily go in again if the market speaks in his favour however MIACARLA'S recent win might just have a bit more substance and she gets the nod. The selection bounced back from a poor run at Haydock over six furlongs when staying on well last time to win at Hamilton. She goes on any ground but does seem to be best on these conditions and with a 6lb penalty not looking insurmountable she should go well. Haajes is a bit less exposed than some of these and was a convincing winner recently at Catterick. Even with a penalty he looks well-treated on his old form and under Tony Culhane he should go well. Stablemate Yungaburra has threatened to win on more than one occasion this year and remains of interest, whilst Rainbow Bay and Obe One need to bounce back from average recent efforts. Until When is still a maiden and despite a good run last time looks likely to remain one, and so we will return to Miacarla to win again.
