Verdict

The vote goes to GOLDANA, who made a winning reappearance on the back of a similar absence in the Gladness Stakes over 7f here last season and will have every chance if again raring to go following a winter break. You Send Me was safely held over this C&D in the Irish 1000 Guineas on the final start of her truncated 3-y-o campaign but she remains of interest in view of her earlier promise, while the Ballydoyle representatives Brilliant and Everlasting both merit respect, too.
