Verdict
There is little between Statuesque and Adalene on handicap marks but the former may have more scope attempting 1m4f for the first time here. BRODIE came up short over today’s trip at Kempton when sent off favourite but not by much despite finishing only fourth and the Sea The Stars filly is worth another chance in this. The remainder have yet to threaten including Cape Dignity, still beaten out of sight when third at Newcastle on her debut.
