Verdict

Cock A Doodle Doo comes here with a penalty after a short-head victory in a Sligo maiden on Thursday, an improved effort on anything she'd shown previously. MAKE MY HEART FLY was sent to Perth to lose her maiden tag and had few problems landing a handicap. This doesn't look much tougher though Blue Skimmer has changed stables and showed some improvement for Jimmy Lambe here last month. Lleyton has a poor record though finished runner-up on the Flat last time and Barry Geraghty's presence could be significant.
