In depth
Verdict
Some very exposed maidens here and we will give Cordelia one more chance, Rogue and Goodwood March are also worthy of respect. The Barry Hills trained filly ran well off a mark of 63 in a handicap here last time out. That is obviously not top class form but it could be good enough to win a race of this nature. Goodwood March has a similar rating and should appreciate this slight drop in trip after running well at Goodwood last time out. Rogue looks to be the pick of the four-year-old's having having gone close on numerous occasions recently. Royal Senga doesn't have too much to find with Rogue on recent running and may do best of the rest. All in all a few disappointing types here and Cordelia is one of them, but she taken to finally lose her maiden tag this afternoon.
