LADIES FIRST found Ghaseedah, rated 67, too good over track and trip last time. But she finished clear of the rest and should have the beating of Canadian Royal on these terms. Limoncino posted an improved effort when third over today’s trip at Newcastle recently while Jack The Truth was runner-up over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton when last in action but that was back in February. The remainder have shown no worthwhile form so far.
