Verdict

POPONG has a fair amount of experience for a handicap debutant and following an excellent second in novice company a month ago, her mark looks very fair. She gets the nod in what is a tricky puzzle to solve, with Cusp of Carabelli and Polished Steel just two potential threats.

  1. POPONG (IRE)
  2. CUSP OF CARABELLI (IRE)
  3. POLISHED STEEL (IRE)
