Pivka is given the vote to break her maiden tag on the second time of asking with both Mohathab and Pragmatism worth noting. The selection ran third of twelve behind Once a Gulch at Kempton on her debut running a little green in the process as can be expected. She was a big price that day, so if coming on for the experience she is sure to be in the shake up. Mohathab was a beaten well supported favourite at Goodwood last time out. He was not beaten far that day and was touched off a by an unexposed classy individual. He has not been seen for a couple of months so he has had time to freshen and any market support should once again be noted. Pragmatism has his first outing of the season. He showed promise on both his outings last season and could shape into a nice three year old so is one to note also, but for the winner we return to Pivka.
