Verdict
Few of these arrive in any kind of form and Divine Celt ran poorly when favourite over the track and trip on Wednesday. She would have an obvious chance on earlier form though this will be her seventh race since June. DRAGON OF MALTA had some smart form last autumn in testing ground and though disappointing so far this year has dropped to a low enough mark to lose his maiden tag at the 14th time of asking. Keep Believing started a short-priced favourite for a Gowran handicap on testing ground last month but was well beaten behind today's rival Pimstrel. However, he was coughing post-race so supporters will be looking for compensation.
