This is a very tricky fillies maiden to judge and while both Keep Ringing and Simplification have strong claims we will take a chance with the unraced KAABARI. Clive Brittain's charge certainly has the breeding card in her pack as a half sister to the useful Queen's Best and there's plenty more to like about this one's pedigree with an impressive array of smart winners. She looks bred for trips around this and further in time and any market support would be interesting. Keep Ringing was solid on debut but will have to show a lot more to live up to her relations which include US champion Pleasant Tap and Kentucky Derby winner Go For Gin. Simplification should have plenty more to come after three mid-field finishes so far. The form from her last effort at least looks strong but the polytrack might not be her surface and she'll need a longer trip in time. Queen Martha has both US dirt and turf pedigree that looks decent and she should handle the surface and with so many unknowns in the contest a market check is advised but we like the look of Kaabari.
