Race Summary:

This has the makings of a quality Albany with an array of unexposed winners, who looked so good on their debuts, locking horns None created a stronger impression than JABAARA, who whistled home once seeing daylight at Newmarket, and formlines through the third that day bode well. Second choice is Persian Dreamer, who looked impressive first time out and a blind eye can be turned to her defeat at York. Matrika is third best after defying a market drift at the Curragh and winning newcomers from her yard usually turn out decidedly smart. Carla’s Way turned some heads at Doncaster and she’s a good looker with serious potential, while Porta Fortuna and Navassa Island are other major players after dominating an Irish Group 3.
