        Verdict

        Sharaby gets the confident vote to win this fillies' handicap with African Breeze and Kudbeme rating the main dangers. The selection was a good fourth in a better race behind Windermere Island last time out. This looks easier and off what remains a fair mark she looks the one to be on under conditions that suit. African Breeze rates the main danger as she won well last time out when beating Sir Nod, but she has a penalty for that win and that may just find her out. Kudbeme is another worthy of respect but she looked in the handicappers when fifth behind Bon Bon and her best form is with slightly more cut in the ground. Burton Ash is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she is another that looks weighted up to her best. Of the remainder, Ladeena ran as if returning to form when third behind Bon Bon last time and is another that could go well but they will all need to improve on their latest efforts to beat the selection Sharaby.
