This has been run five times and the favourite has won them all. QAADIRA is the form pick on her fourth behind Mawasem at Kempton as she was staying on over that mile and should be suited by this trip. She is handed the vote as her two main rivals, All Time and Morlotti, have both been beaten a long way and will need to show massive improvement to take a hand. Almost Gemini may do best of the remainder though he's another with little form to recommend.
