Verdict
Most of these are old foes with Connie's Rose beating Rhubarb on slower ground here last month and the latter finishing behind JACQUELINA over track and trip the last twice. Phil McEntee’s filly also has the measure of Fossos and Coronation Cottage on recent form having missed out by only a neck on her latest start.
