Verdict

Drish Melody is the only course and distance winner having produced a shock victory a month ago. She's been raised 7lb but Paddy Harnett can claim 2lb. Clarinbridge found 6f too short last time after a better run over this trip earlier but is held by PILBARA GOLD on the first of those runs. Kieran Cotter's filly was narrowly beaten by Pandemic Princess that day and was unsuited by dropping back to 5f last week when Sangria was behind. The latter also found the minimum too short after a much better effort over this trip previously. Holy Divine produced her best run over a mile here and is on the same mark with Robert Whearty's claim a bonus.
