Verdict

Vocal Music couldn't quite hold Blue Petal in a Tipperary claimer last time but was conceding 9lb on soft ground. He has to give plenty of weight away here and Dragon Girl is one that could take advantage as she looked progressive in a Bellewstown maiden. However, she was just behind Maunganui that day and Jarlath Fahey's charge was showing marked improvement from his debut so should make a bold bid to go one better with more to come. BEACH WEDDING finished a close third in a couple of decent maidens in mid-summer before being outclassed in a Curragh Group 3. She'll find this a lot less daunting and can gain her first victory.
