Verdict
Maslaha looks a progressive type and he is taken to land this event, with Temple of Thebes and Divine Power put forward as the main dangers. The selection has run well in each of her 3 runs so far this season and with her yard in great form she has an obvious chance of getting her head in front here. The only slight worry is the drop in trip as this is the first time she has tackled 6f. Temple Of Thebes looks a progressive filly and she scored impressively at Great Leighs last time when she beat Nice Dream. She has yet to race on the turf but a case can be made for her. Divine Power is making her handicap debut and there was plenty to like about the way she won at Salisbury last time. She is one to note in the market, while Requisite is in good form and is another that could go well. Maslaha looks to be on an upward curve and she is the one to be on.
