Tarkamara undoubtedly has the best form on offer among the three runners to have raced previously but Paul Cole's filly is unlikely to represent much in the way of value and a chance is taken with Duskiness, who is preferred to Bicoastal. The selection is an early-foaled daughter of Kyllachy trained by Mark Wallace, who's runners have done well with Jamie Spencer on board this season. Dubai's Fairy represents the powerful Richard Hannon stable but is a fairly late foal and may need the experience, while Jeremy Noseda's stable has been fairly quiet so the well-bred Bahama Mama may be best watched. Grand Lucre comes from a yard quite capable of sending a two-year-old out to win on debut and is another worthy of consideration although a bigger threat is likely to come from Brian Meehan's Gone West filly Bicoastal. Duskiness makes plenty of appeal on pedigree though and gets the vote.
