Verdict
An ordinary maiden that can go to Hashima, who made a satisfactory debut and edges the vote over Archeology and Tangible, who are likely to provide the sternest challenges. The last named represents the bang-in-form yard of Sir Mark Prescott that have enjoyed another fruitful period with several high-profile winners during the last month. Tangible has plenty of improvement to find if she is to go on to match any of those achievements, but she is well related and though looks a bright prospect for next year when she has gained some further experience. Archeology is another that is related to a number of top-class performers and can be expected to find a race somewhere along the line. However, she was very disappointing last time and is probably best watched today. Which brings us back to Hashima, who really caught the eye in staying on late on her debut after showing signs of greenness with a tardy start. Sure to be a lot wiser this time around, Hashima does not need to better that effort by much to lead them all home here and this $90,000 purchase has been presented with an ideal opening to start justifying her purchase price here.
