IMRANA can make her first handicap start a winning one by taking this competitive middle distance handicap. the selection should have the ground to suit and can get the better of the in form Baba Boom who can take second. Third place can go the way of Maze Runner who has a top jockey booked to ride on his first start in handicap company.
