Verdict

Emily Post was elevated into Class 4 company at Pontefract where she gained a shock victory so has to be of interest back in this grade. Tellus shot up the weights after completing a double in the spring and has been unable to cope though is back in her correct grade. Creative Style has only won on Tapeta but hasn't been beaten far in recent starts and has been dropped a couple of pounds. Happier keeps going up in the ratings without winning but IRIS DANCER (NAP) is just a pound higher than when scoring here in June and her four recent starts over the track and trip have been at a higher level so she gets the nod. Sacred Falls is gradually improving and an opening mark of 64 isn't excessive.
