Verdict

This could be a strong race for the grade with several open to progress. Point-winner OOH BETTY displayed ability in all 3 of her qualifying runs and is just preferred in favour of Dancingontheedge (well handicapped on bumper form) and Drash On Ruby (sort to benefit from a breathing operation).

  1. OOH BETTY (IRE)
  2. DANCINGONTHEEDGE (FR)
  3. DRASH ON RUBY
