Verdict

Juno Beach couldn't match strides with Daintree and Hypernova, who runs in the previous race, last month but had Sosallycanwait behind and should confirm that form. Cherry Bloom wasn't far behind Daintree earlier then ran even better over 7f to get within half-a-length of Dubirango with today's rival Kirsapp just behind. PANDEMIC PRINCESS has also finished close behind Daintree recently then ran a fine race in an all-aged handicap behind Teddy Boy. Richard O'Brien's filly is a very consistent performer who can double her winning tally.
