Verdict
An interesting maiden to round off the evening and Shamara could prove to be the value bet of the evening after making a most encouraging debut on the Rowley Mile last month. Promoter and Annakita are respected of those with previous experience, with Essex an obvious newcomer to monitor closely in the betting. Betterware Boy also hails from a yard that have hit top form again in the last week or so and will have been buoyed by the success of Carnival Dancer in France yesterday. However, Sharma hails from a yard whose runners have tended to improve greatly for their first outings. And she may go off at longer odds than she should with the Saddlers Wells colt Essex in the field.
