OUR GIRL SHEILA overcame trouble in-running to beat Ralphy Boy Two over 1m1f on good to soft ground here last month. That was way above anything she had shown previously and, with just 4lb extra, she can progress again and complete a double. Magna Moralia got up close home over the track and trip a month ago, when Viceregent was a close-up in third, but failed to land the odds in a slightly better race at Ripon while Granite City Doc has won twice over an extended mile on soft ground here this summer and has a course and distance victory to his credit on fast going.
