In depth

Verdict

Chasin' Rainbows keeps digging out a bit more. A winner over 1m2f here in August, she went in again on the Polytrack last month and should stay this longer trip. LADY ROMANZA popped up at a big price in a Warwick seller last week but this is no tougher and Brendan Powell's filly is taken to defy a penalty with similar conditions underfoot. Neither Essell or Turbulent Priest looked like winning despite being placed on their latest starts and Beacon Lady's recent course win came over a mile on fast going.
