Verdict

Hit The Bid and Dutch Masterpiece occupied the places in this last year behind Ertijaal then finished 1-2 in a handicap the following month. They reappear on the same terms with probably the same result. Marnie James, Orvar and Freescape all won last time out in the UK and Ireland. The form looks just short of what will be required and the latter, placed over a mile in Listed company here in March, has never raced over a trip this short. FAATINAH made a successful debut on the track a year ago and also scored after an absence in Australia in August. He's been racing at a higher level subsequently and is well enough drawn to go in again. Mike De Kock's Alfolk won a Group 3 at Turffontein a year ago but couldn't make the step up to Group 1 company a few weeks later. Race Day, four times a winner for Godolphin in the UK, has a handy racing weight but isn't well drawn.
