        In depth

        Verdict

        Gentle Ellen is weighted to beat Cotai Class on these terms though the former never figured in a handicap on her reappearance. Banner Road and stablemate Bonito Cavalo will need a big improvement to figure so this can go to a newcomer with CARVA MYRINE, a half-sister to three winners, preferred to Show Compassion and getting a speculative vote.
