1st Maqsad 5/1 - 50
2nd Anapuna 11/2 - 40
3rd Tarnawa 25/1 - 35
3rd Fleeting 33/1 - 35
4th Mehdaayih 11/4 - 30
4th Manuela De Vega 12/1 - 30

Pink Dogwood only scored 15 which is a little worrying.

Maqsad just scraped top spot here. Impressive winner last time out at newmarket in a Listed Race. Stamina is a doubt, but looking back, her dam ran well at 1m 4f. She is a risky one but William Haggas will have her primed.

Anapuna just pipped 2nd, my big worry for her is 2 things, the going and her stall. I think she needs a bit of rain to be at her best, and stall 3 wont help her.

Fleeting for a big price scored well, and i wouldn't be put of her, even if she did come last in the 1000gns. twice he has won the Oaks, after running in the Guineas. one was Qualify who also came last in the 1000 guineas, and Shahtoush. Do not rule this one out and she is a good ew price.

Tarnawa is a horse i backed on her season debut to Pink Dogwood, and its one that sticks because she was stuck in on the rails and Pink Dogwood was on the outside. Pink Dogwood was in full flight before a gap opened up to Tarnawa, and she was catching but it was too late, i think this step up in disntace is a massive plus as it took her a while to get in to gear when winning a Group 3 over 1m 2f last time out. I would fancy her ew.

For me Maqsad has a big chance, but i would fancy Fleeting or Tarnawa ew at big prices. Its an open race.

My Selection: Maqsad 5/1
