Verdict

DOYENNA arrives with a progressive profile and did well to get up late in a novice at Tramore a fortnight ago. A well-run race over this slightly longer trip should bring more out of her and she's a confident choice to make a successful switch to handicaps, acknowledging both Peace Party and Tincurra Lad both make appeal in opposition.
