The three winners are all penalised though the four-year-old Snegurochka still receives weight from her older rivals though will need to improve again despite being the only one to have won over the trip. Celine Soprano put her experience and stamina to good use when slamming her rivals over 2m4f at Wexford but whether she'll have the pace to see off STAR ADVENTURE over this trip is another matter. Noel Meade's mare was always travelling smoothly over that same track and trip earlier this month and quickly went clear after taking the lead in the straight so looks the one to beat.
