A poor opener and Naujella Girl is selected ahead of Elaala and Too Posh To Share. The selection is less exposed than most here and having been related to winners over further, this cloying surface should not unduly test her reserves of stamina. Elaala still searches to break her maiden but this race is so weak that she cannot be discounted in spite of ten unsuccessful attempts thus far. Too Posh To Share won a seller over course-and-distance. That victory was long overdue and it is to be hoped that she gleans some confidence from finally getting her head infront. The Last Turn was 100/1 on debut and ran accordingly.Lyricist's Dream is none from 17 while Khyberie's technique left a lot to be desired on debut. No getting away from a lack of quality and Naujella Girl can only be put up to the minimum of stakes.
