Verdict

Dramatise, a 50/1 maiden winner at Fairyhouse in September, stayed on nicely on her return over a mile at Gowran and this will be her trip. Sheila's Hope won four races on quick ground last season and wouldn't want any more rain while Operatic Export, a 7f maiden winner here in August, didn't enjoy the soft conditions on her reappearance in a Group 3 here. Minnie HaHa has yet to win a race but looks on a fair mark though this can go to BERCASA (NAP), another Flat maiden but greatly improved over hurdles recently and on a very lowly mark back on the level.
