Verdict
Ralph Beckett sends Thanks Monica from the UK after landing two Class 5 handicaps by a total of 16 lengths. YAXENI is top rated having twice been narrowly beaten since beating Pita Pinta just over a length in a Listed race at Gowran, with Mighty Blue a couple of lengths behind, for which she's penalised. The latter's yard saddle four including Goodie Two Shoes, a very impressive maiden winner at Killarney. Alizarine stepped up on previous form to be narrowly beaten in a Naas Listed contest and should have more to offer.
