Verdict
TAYLOR only had one modest rival to beat here two weeks ago but her earlier form, which included a head second to the 127-rated Queen Of The Stage, suggests she should still be good enough to give the weight away to these. Dashul, Ley Lady Grey and Tripper Point all make their debuts over hurdles, though the latter did win a bumper on the Polytrack in November and ran in Listed company later. Scarlett Lady reappears following a break and Penzflo has shown nothing in three runs so far.
