    Verdict

    Ostfanni, Reem Two and Entre Amist are three against the field in this mares only race and the vote is given to Ostfanni. The selection has won her last two races in good style notably when beating Bella Liana last time out. Granted she is giving weight to all of her rivals but she is taken to win again in what looks a poor race. Reem Two rates the main danger on her best form but she tends to run in snatches and again she may be outpaced at a vital stage before staying-on, and she looks opposable on that basis. Entre Amis hails from a yard that has had plenty of success in this sphere and is worth noting in the market but the suspicion is she may come on for the experience. Of the remainder, Oscar's Lady has shown a modicum of ability and is another with place claims but for the winner we return to the in form Ostfanni.
