Verdict

MELK ABBEY was in the process of showing improved form and may well have won had she not unseated 3 out at this track recently and she's worth a chance to prove herself well treated from a basement mark.The hat-trick seeking pair Walk In The Wild and Ramore Will look obvious dangers in what should be a competitive race for the grade.

  1. MELK ABBEY (IRE)
  2. WALK IN THE WILD (FR)
  3. RAMORE WILL (IRE)
