Verdict

RETAJ (4) has been ultra consistent this campaign with three placings from four runs and was again solid when finishing second as favourite over 6f here on the inside course. She maps well and looks like the one they have to beat. JADWA (14) improved on her previous run when finishing fifth over the same trip here on the inside course, and her best figures stack up well for this grade. She draws a touch wide but has the talent to be competitive. HAMIYA (5) has been freshened since a below-par run over 6f here on the inside course, and her early speed gives her the chance to settle prominently. Her best form makes her a winning hope. HAJMAH (3) resumes after nine weeks and ended last prep with a midfield effort over this track and trip. She has shown enough ability to be considered in a race of this depth and can run well fresh. Each way value.
