Another tough race for punters with very little form to go on but the principals look to be Mahmoom, Ashstanza and Emtilaak and the confident vote goes to Mahmoom. The colt from the Mick Channon yard was a good second behind Dvinsky on his debut despite being slowly away he is sure to be a lot sharper here and with that experience behind him he will be hard to beat. Ashstanza is from a yard that has plenty of good two year olds this season and the gelding by Ashkalani has reportedly gone well at home so he is worth noting in the market. Emtilaak showed a modicum of ability on his debut when behind Mandobi and he is another that is sure to have learnt from the experience we are happy to stick with Mahmoom.
