Verdict
BLHADAWA beat little to win her maiden over course and distance but was giving lots of weight to younger horses and still scored by six lengths. She should make a bold bid in this better company. Multitask is also facing stiffer opposition having won over 7f last time while Hopes N Dreams and Muhdiq are closely matched on their respective efforts behind good yardstick Boom The Groom. Both Major Crispies and Salvatore Fury look in need of some respite from the handicapper and are harder to fancy.
