Verdict
Rosa Parks is a well bred type who showed plenty of ability when runner-up on her debut at Newmarket late last month and is the TEAMtalk selection to lose her maiden certificate with the benefit of experience behind her. Perigeo also shaped with promise on his debut and should be in the shake up but True Courage is proving most frustrating and was made to looked very one-paced last time.
