    Verdict

    Despite her penalty TAURAKINA is officially 5lbs well-in and, with the prospect of even more to come, she's going to be very hard to beat. The one concern would be this drop to sprinting as she actually raced in the 2009 Italian Oaks, but Marco Botti's charge did show abundant speed at Kempton over seven and had the race won a furlong from home - a repeat performance would surely see her go in again. Duke Of Rainford hasn't had many chances over six furlongs and could have more to offer but the biggest threat on recent efforts looks to be Equinity, who is on a reasonable mark and ran well last time. She holds Itsthursdayalready on that effort so best of the rest may well be Lordsbury Pride providing the visor works again after he ran well at Lingfield, despite refusing to settle.
