9/2

Modest filly. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. 11/2, bit below form fourth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago. Makes turf debut. Blinkers on and she's starting to look exposed. Still a player at this level.

Forecasts

Azahara Palace (5/4), Ludden Lass (3/1), Scramble (9/2), Dance Angel (7/1), Elizabeth's Joy (18/1), Expert Lady (20/1), Boniato (25/1), Dusty Rug (80/1)

AZAHARA PALACE displayed enough at Windsor 3 weeks ago to think she can win a small maiden against her own sex and this looks to be a nice opportunity for her with progress assured. Ludden Lass and particularly Scramble are more exposed but need considering.
