        Verdict

        WE ARE passed the post three lengths clear of the rest in the Group 1 Saint-Alary back in May and was desperately unlucky to be subsequently disqualified for medical reasons. Freddie Head's filly should be spot on now with a recent comeback run under her belt and can make up for lost time. Sultanina beat Narniyn in the Nassau at Goodwood but the latter was beaten further by another Group 1 winner in Ribbons at Deauville in August. James Fanshawe's charge is also preferred to the German Oaks winner Feodora and her compatriot Nymphea while Shamkala could only manage fourth in the French Oaks. Tarfasha was beaten in the Epsom and Irish Oaks before landing a Group 2 at the Curragh but Listed winner Hadaatha may yet prove capable of competing at the highest level.
