The relatively unexposed mare PEARL OF THE WEST could well have been trained all term with this race in mind. She comes here relatively fresh and should be spot on after a good recent effort on the Flat. There are plenty of dangers in a hot race. Malaya could prove the toughest nut to crack and should go close, while Captain Moirette may run well at decent odds. Of the Henderson-trained trio, Mister Fisher may do best, although if Verdana Blue returns to form he should be right in the thick of the action
