      Verdict

      A tough one to call as this is a group of fillies on the upgrade. The likes of Fengate and Indulged appeal as ones to keep tabs on for similar races and do their bit to add spice to the mix, while Al Mayda is unexposed and hsould be capable of improving as she gains in experience. However, NESHMEYA has made good progress so far and has stacks of potential now she has started to strengthen up. She gets the nod this time around.
