Spirit of Dubai has shown a decent level of form having been placed in her last two starts following tough tasks previously and David Simcock's filly is bound to have her backers but a better bet looks to be SAMAAHA, with Cherish The Moment looking the pick of the remainder. The selection ran promisingly on ground softer than ideal at Nottingham on her debut when finding just Phillipina too good before being placed on more suitable ground at Windsor last time. Saeed Bin Suroor's daughter of Singspiel looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to open her account and she is taken to do so today. Secret Desert looks the clear second best of David Simcock's two runners in the race and of more interest may be Jamie Poulton's Double Whammy, who ran better at Bath last time. Cherish The Moment showed improved form at Windsor on his most recent start but Samaaha is the clear form pick and gets the vote.
