Verdict
OVER THE RAINBOW, by Dubawi out of Irish Oaks winner Seventh Heaven, was green on her debut here last month and should go one better with normal improvement. Nemean has been staying on in both starts over shorter and the $345,000 son of Kitten's Joy is expected to be suited by stepping up. Nusret was headed on the line over slightly further at Limerick and looks certain to get into contention again while the selection's stablemate Engagement Ring, a full-sister to Capri and five other winners, will find this trip much more to her liking than the 1m2f she ran over here in May.
