In depth

Verdict

Dewasenta, Miami Explorer and Cheeky Martyr are three against the field in this poor affair and the confident vote is given to Dewasenta. The selection won well last time out when beating Reem Two and although she has a penalty for that win. This looks easier and she is taken to defy the handicapper under conditions that suit. Miami Explorer rates the main danger as she won well last time out when beating Latin Queen, she is another that will relish the conditions and will not be far away. Cheeky Martyr showed improved form to be fourth behind Miami Explorer last time out and should get closer to that rival on these revised terms but she still needs to find a little extra if she is to gain her revenge. Of the remainder Miss Killkeel has shown a modicum of ability and is another with place claims. But the remainder have shown virtually nothing and for the winner we return to Dewasenta.
