In depth

Verdict

Meebo is a massive 13lb out of the handicap and will do well to get anywhere near her two opponents though testing ground can produce strange results and she has the benefit of a 10lb claimer. LADY ULTRA and Freedom Square occupied the last two positions, a long way behind Shining Emerald at the Curragh last month. The former just came out on top and, as she had scored on her previous start, may just have the edge again over Jim Bolger's colt, who has failed to fire after his maiden victory in June.
