Verdict

In the maiden, Madrigale is selected ahead of Nicomedia, with the betting market suggested as a guide for you too. Madrigale has been knocking at the door for a while now and, with form enough to land a race of this nature, might provide the answer today. Nicomedia's third to Daytona last time has since been franked so he gets a good mention too. Assistacat is related to winners, Best Option has shown promise, as has the 1.5 million dollar purchase Empress Olga. Gold Digger Miss also attracted plenty of money at the sales, while Lady Fifer showed some improvement last time and at least comes here fit and well. Finally, a 75,000 guineas purchase, Sixfields Flyer attracts plenty of interest on her debut. For the selection, though, we will side with Madrigale.
