This is a competitive contest to close the card and the vote is given to Ai Hawa who is narrowly preferred to Foreland Sands and Voice Mail. The selection is nothing out of the ordinary but this filly is dropped in class today and she should be able to make her presence felt at this level. Foreland Sands is begining to look exposed but he has shown his best form on the all-weather and he may be capable of making the frame. Voice Mail is another that looks exposed but he has a decent draw and he is another with solid place claims. Guadiana is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market, but for the winner we will stick with Ai Hawa.
