    Verdict

    ASOOF is asked to concede hefty poundage to a quartet of promising three-year-olds on this first start since February. That run came in Meydan where the Dubawi filly finished fourth and second in Group 2 company during her winter campaign. Her yard is adept at bringing inmates back from a break in strong form and she's taken to outclass this field. The 5lb claim of talented Cieren Fallon will aid her cause further. Illumined has looked a promising type on all three starts although this is only her second start on Turf, but she does rate the main danger. Specialise is solid and looks third best as Katiesheidinlisa and Amber Spark need to improve on recent efforts.
