Verdict

The feature event of the day and Ghaidaa is given the vote on the basis of a very impressive victory last time out while the form of her second on debut was franked by the winner, Arthur's Girl who finished second in the Ribblesdale last week. The manner in which Ghaidaa quickened and put the race to bed at Newbury was very taking and she could well be a Group class. Jamboretta was caught off a very slow pace at Epsom last time and will be suited by this step up to ten furlongs but faces no easy task in conceding 12lb to Michael Jarvis's filly while Under The Rainbow, who is top-rated is possibly flattered by her lofty rating. She has not scored since the backend of the 2005 season. Against her own sex she has claims but one feels she may not be as good as she once was and is opposed, particularly as she drops back in trip and that is an unknown. Pentatonic has ground to make up on Under The Rainbow while at bigger prices Comeback Queen who disappointed in the Musidora found the mile too sharp at Ascot last week. Ghaidaa is the selection to land it.
