Verdict

Getaway Queen has won twice around here though is probably better over further, a remark that also applies to Malbas. LATCHET is on a losing run but has dropped in the ratings accordingly and, after a fair run last time, can get back to winning ways. Jazzelle is still a maiden after a dozen starts but hasn't been beaten far in her last three runs here while Crest Of A Wave scored over the course and distance last month and will have found a mile too short on her next start. Amarantha was returning from a break when well beaten last time but would have a definite chance on her previous run at the Curragh.
