Two potential superstars and a faultless beginner engage in a ‘battle of speed’ over 390m.
And The Watchdog has given the nod to the Andrea Dailly trained Qwara Bale – albeit with a few reservations.
The expert form analyst says she’s “probably better suited over a slightly longer journey” and “runs into her gifted kennelmate”.
Qwara Bale has won eight races from 15 starts, including three of her past four. Back in February, she was a Lil Dickie Oaks finalist.
However, Quintana Bale – also trained by Dailly – has won nine races from 17 starts, including a scorching 21.84sec PB here. She was runner-up in the Lil Dickie Oaks and third in the Mepunga Oaks.
“The box draw is a slight concern, but she’s handled awkward draws in the past,” The Watchdog said.
And he adds “ultra-consistent and faultless beginner” Aston Mireya, which has a 22.02sec PB here, is capable of an upset.
It all adds up to a titanic tussle between the trio!
