Verdict

Sahara Haze is yet to win a race under rules, but she would have gone close last time if not being disqualified at Ludlow, and on that piece of form looks to have a big chance in what could be an easier race, especially as she is allowed to remain on the same mark. She had Still Believing, officially placed third, behind her that day, and that very consistent mare should be on the premises again here. Preference though, is for WISHICOULD. She has only been on the improve since starting in rules races and though she has to defy a 9lb rise in the weights for an easy victory last time, there's a reason for that. She should have enough in hand to make it back-to-back wins.
