ZENARINDA showed that she had enjoyed a break over the winter when coming back to finish a decent second last time at Yarmouth and we side with Mark Tompkins' filly to pick up the last race on the card ahead of Jozafeen and Tafawut. The selection wasn't far behind last time out on seasonal debut and likely to have come on again for that run is hard to oppose, so we don't. The trainer has been patient in developing Zenarinda and it may pay dividends here. Tafawut has won on the all-weather at Kempton this year but has failed to translate that effort to turf as yet, although when last seen at this course managed a respectable enough second over today's trip. Jozafeen showed she was refreshed when returning to action at Newcastle last time with a second only a length behind Catawallow. She holds strong claims and has to remain in calculations given that run. Hulcote Rose has some decent form on the all-weather so isn't ruled out and Sweet Secret has to be respected representing a classy yard. However we go for Zenarinda to win the race.
