Verdict
ELSHABAKIYA must be one the highest rated maidens in training having raced in pattern company without success for the whole of last year as well as last month's comeback at this track. This should prove a cakewalk for Clive Brittain's filly, although her price will reflect the fact. Lord Paget looks most likely to follow her home on his second over C&D last month with Ozz and Dear Ben the other likely improvers.
