Verdict

After landing a Galway maiden by 11 lengths, Meala was elevated into Group 2 company here on Saturday and ran well to finish fourth. She can return to winning ways though there are some unexposed types than can give her a race including Nicest, who stayed on strongly to make a successful debut at Leopardstown, and Ubuntu, who caught the eye over 7f here a couple of weeks ago. Emaniya showed the benefit of her opening run with a convincing victory over this track and trip when Divinely was 2 lengths behind while Dolce Notte wasn't phased by heavy going at Killarney a week agao and can only improve.
