Despite being a long-standing maiden, it's hard to ignore the claims of CANIMAR on the back of a bold showing from the front at Wolverhampton 20 days ago. She should take all the beating if in the same form, but the likes of Velvet Vista and Independence Day are likely candidates to capitalise if the selection underperforms.
