Verdict
There could be more to come from the lightly-raced Shalimah who won on his seasonal debut, although the form of that race looks dubious. There are doubts over Speculator’s ability to see out this trip, and the same could be said for Tatawu who was all out to hold on over 1m2f last time. In a trappy-looking contest, FLAMBEUSE could be the answer. She wasn’t up to Listed class last season but was second in a decent handicap at Deauville in October and 1m4f on fast ground should suit her perfectly.
