This doesn't appear to be the strongest of contests and GLOWING looks capable of defying a penalty; Greenisland and Tropical Paradise are two that could reward each-way support. The selection is having her first run for Luca Cumani following a narrow victory in a Group 3 at Fairyhouse which represented a step up on her previous performances but she was reported to be a late developer by her previous handler. The placed horses have let the form down but she has her optimum conditions and may have more to offer. Strictly, she has something to find at the weights but Penny's Gift was struggling when last seen whilst Red Dune, Please Sing and Royal Confidence were readily held at Doncaster behind Fantasia. Golden Stream was behind Please Sing at Bath and of more interest is Tropical Paradise who has been progressing well through handicaps. Totally Devoted wasn't beaten too far behind Rainbow View in the Matron Stakes before finding the ground against her last time and she should give a good account of herself whilst Greenisland has already run well over course and distance and could show up well at a price but preference is for Glowing.
