    Verdict

    DRAMATIC SOLO can land the finale at the main expense of Hill Billy Rock and Dolly Penrose. This 4-year-old filly won here last month when she beat Border Tale in an apprentice handicap. She is unpenalised for that success and she is also upped in trip which will suit, so she makes plenty of appeal. Hill Billy Rock is a regular at this venue and he will have no issue with this trip either. However, his recent form leaves him with a bit to find. Dolly Penrose is another that has been a little disappointing of late, but she didn't get home over 2m last time after travelling well and she is of interest now that she is dropped back to this more suitable trip. Sonara was well beaten here last time and is hard to fancy, and we will stick with Dramatic Solo who should take plenty of beating.
