AALSMEER is easily rated the highest out of those with ratings having placed in Listed company before. If she handles the Polytrack on her first all-weather start then this looks an ideal opportunity for her to open her account. Speedy Xaara was slowly in to stride on debut at Lingfield but should come on for that run with an improved effort. It is notable that Luca Cumani tries Wallis over six furlongs after she has struggled to stay a mile on her first couple of outings. Ed Vaughan trains Romancea, a $400,000 purchase who has shown very little so far, but the all-weather surface may see some improvement. Muredach Kelly wouldn't send My Girl Anna from County Galway if she didn't have a chance, whilst Lady Berta represents Richard Hannon in the race and is respected as she is heading in the right direction with each run.
