Verdict
Golden Glory seems to be improving with experience but would require a further step forward here. Araukan had Alpine Scent behind when fourth at Wexford last month but Ebaa Hana is not really progressing. DUALLA TIME’s form gives her a chance in this and she is probably more consistent than her rivals. She gets a tentative vote unless there is strong market support for one of the others.
