Verdict

A relatively competitive opener with not that much to go on in terms of form and it wouldn’t be a surprise if the newcomer Desert War could make a winning debut. Journey Of Life is without doubt the most interesting contender for his new stable especially if they have taught him to settle after his hard pulling traits cost him last year. Molivaliente, Bawaader and Seraphim all have claims on their form so far but it’s DARING VENTURE who sets the standard if she is ready to roll after a fair absence. Her opening run at Newmarket last year was full of promise and a repeat of that would see her go close. Of those at bigger prices Red Moon Lady is worth noting in the market on her debut.
  1. Daring Venture
  2. Bawaader
  3. Desert War
