In depth

Verdict

MIRAMIS is obviously well regarded as she has been very highly tried in two starts over longer trips on this track and should find this less daunting. Montego Bay made a promising start at Dundalk a week ago and with progress certain should get into the mix while Charmed showed very good pace when last seen on the latter track though that was over 7f. Shelly Banks has plenty of experience which will stand her in good stead, a remark that also applies to Dots De Feetya.
