Verdict

After she broke her maiden duck at the fifth attempt, MAQBOOLA is a confident selection to follow-up that recent victory and cope with a subsequent 5lb rise. She has just the type of profile you need in these sorts of races, as an improving, unexposed type. As for her rivals, both Emerald Fox and Waitaki stepped up on their previous exertions when making their debuts for new yards. The latter would be of particular interest if the market spoke positively in favour of her. Elena Osario and Medici Moon need to bounce back from recent disappointments, but both posted more encouraging efforts when last seen over this C&D.
