It will be surprising if Chatifa does not win this and go on to better things with her confidence boosted. Paintbrush and Princess Anabaa appeal most out the remainder; with the former given the nod, on grounds of value, to chase the selection home. However, Chatifa, a half-sister to the top-class Queens Logic, will be a different proposition to the filly who ran green on her debut at Newmarket and should outclass this mainly exposed bunch tonight. The fact that she comes here instead of staying closer to home for a similar contest at Newmarket tomorrow indicates that Marcus Tregoning is looking for her to boost her self-esteem and this is the ideal opening to do so.
