Verdict

Tony Martin has snapped up Colin Keane for Annie Go, whose last two runs on the Flat have been promising. Hazariban showed nothing in maidens before dead-heating with Ibsen on his handicap debut at Gowran last week. He's gone up 5lb for that but the veteran Jigalo appeared unlucky in-running and can turn the tables though he isn't one to trust as his 0-16 Turf record shows. Cinderella Story is another maiden on the level so this can go to ARABELA. John McConnell's filly showed her first real sign of ability when staying on strongly over 1m2f at Clonmel last week and she should once again take care of Roja Dove, who was just behind. Stay In My Heart was beaten a long way by Seventh Son at Sligo but that was only his sixth start and there could be more to come.
