With only 2lbs separating three of these on official ratings, it should be a close contest. Desert Fury has been knocking on the door of late, but he is an infrequent winner and is normally one to take on. Although Sarraaf has yet to win on the All-Weather he is effective on this surface and is sure to run well, but he looks to have a difficult task on his hands trying to give 20lbs to the three-year-old Voluptuous. Jamie Osborne's filly turned in a sound effort last time when just failing to give Cherine a stone. She had several winners behind her that day and is taken to make amends in this. Mulan Princess has a little to find with the principals, but she goes well here (won and been second on her only two outings), and is not one to dismiss lightly.
