Verdict
COPACOBANA will almost certainly do better when upped in trip but drops a grade for this having stayed on late on her debut at Musselburgh. She may well be good enough to score ahead of Highway Dream, who wasn't beaten far at Chelmsford despite only beating one home. Balqees is related to several winners and is expected to prove the best of the newcomers ahead of Opal Tiara.
