Verdict

A competitive event despite the small field with REVOLUTME the selection. She holds the best form in this contest after finding the improving Miss Amulet too good when third at Cork. That form has been well advertised since and she now makes her handicap debut at a less demanding level so can get off the mark. Dacesa should be right there too given she also finished narrowly behind the same filly at Down Royal, and is the only one in the line-up with winning form to their name. One who should not be written off yet is Tar Heel who ran below-par when last seen but showed good form prior to that & could bounce back. Procellarum is another to consider.
  1. Revolutme
  2. Procellarum
  3. Dacesa
