There may well be better to come from GOODIE TWO SHOES, who wasn't disgraced on her first start in handicap company at the Curragh where she was returning from a 5-month break. Entitled to come on for that run and likely to benefit from this step up in trip, the Fastnet Rock filly gets the nod ahead of British import Wandering Rocks and Aurora Princess, who has slipped to an attractive mark in this sphere. Others to consider include the progressive Youcrackmeup and Rushford.
