Verdict

Our Secret Pearl appeared to find 7f too short at Gowran but wasn’t beaten far and has been dropped 3lb. Benkogambit, who finished three lengths in front of her in that Gowran event, then ran a shocker when well supported at Cork. Speedy Pix wasn’t far behind the selection at Gowran and may provide the main threat this time though more rain would aid her cause.
