Verdict
This fillies maiden will not take much winning and we will side with the newcomer GRAND ZAFEEN to score on her debut ahead of Kate Skate and Anjomarba. The selection is well bred being by Zafeen and comes from a yard that have their two years olds well produced for their debuts so with that in mind she is short listed to go very close. Kate Skate ran sixth on her debut at Bath earlier in the month and may fair better this time around with that experience under her belt. Anjomarba improved from her debut to finish an eye catching second of thirteen behind Monsieur Chevalier and has to be respected now she is running against her own sex. However for the winner we return to Grand Zafeen.
