Verdict
The Knot Is Tied won easily over 2m4f here in October but has not reproduced that form in three runs since. Dynamite Kentucky is proving more consistent and was second in a maiden around here last May but blinkers and a first try over 3m could help TABLE MOUNTAIN, who was a stayer on the Flat. A step up in trip may also benefit Henschke but Terresita, a winner over 2m here in November, appeared to have her limitations exposed next time at Fontwell.
