Verdict

A race that will take little winning and a final opportunity is given to Amira although Biriyani and Pearl Farm are on the shortlist. Amira was an expensive purchase as a yearling. She has had three starts thus far but we will forgive her a modest run at Doncaster as she probably did not get home. Biriyani has to be respected from the Walter Swinburn camp. A fair fourth on debut - a long absence isn't normally something that stops his horses running well. Pearl Farm was well beaten in a recent fillies handicap. That was won by a filly off a mark of 46 so she could have it to do. Perfect Solution has bits and pieces of form so is given a cursory look in the market. Not a great contest by any stretch of the imagination and one where we chance Amira.
