Rose of Coma ran on well when landing a course and distance seller last month and Gay Kelleway's filly has to be respected off what looks a fair mark for her first start in a nursery but, along with another last time out winner Missy Que, she may have to settle for a minor role behind Yokozuna. Ed Dunlop's colt has not progressed as much as may have been anticipated following a promising debut in a maiden here in May but has still shown a reasonable level of form and he looks well treated for his first outing in this grade, in what is a poor contest. Nun Today has had the three runs necessary for a handicap mark and may do better now running in a nursery but he does need to improve. Cherry Belle was very disappointing in a claimer at Beverley last time and is hard to back with any confidence after that outing and of more interest may be Willie Muir's Missy Que, who looks to be going the right way and found her right grade when landing a seller here last time. She has every chance but preference is for Yokozuna, who is taken to make the most of this drop in class.
