Verdict

Quaroma is not easily dismissed despite this being her first outing since May as she's slipped down the weights and ran well at Musselburgh when last seen at the track. SAXONETTE finished just behind the latter on that occasion but has since won at Hamilton and can reverse running after making another bold bid at this venue three weeks ago. Amelia Jay finally opened her account when scoring at 16/1 over track and trip on Saturday but makes little appeal under a penalty and Royal Bajan is preferred off his current mark.
