Verdict
Heroine Queen and Kohinoor Diamond were beaten a similar distance in different maiden races over course and distance earlier in the month. The latter did finish a couple of lengths ahead of Biologist but Melissa Jane made only a modest debut at Newmarket and that was back in May. The remainder with experience make little appeal so a chance is taken on HOLY ROMA for the Haggas yard. She’s related to a couple of winners and is preferred to fellow newcomers Red Guana and Wouldntitbelovely.
