They have saved the most difficult race until last and so a narrow vote is given here to Jabbara, with Princess Ileana and Muara the pick of the others. Clive Brittain's charge has been running better than her form figures portray. She has been tiring in the closing stages over the six furlong trip so today's drop to the minimum should suit and she is now down to a very lenient mark. Muara looks the pick of the two David Barker runners having finished fourth in a stronger race than this last time out. Meanwhile Princesss Ileana has to rate a threat following some superb efforts last season. All in all a race to be treated with caution, but Jabbara has plenty in her favour and she gets the verdict.
