Verdict
Emerald Fire was a progressive filly last year and despite top weight, doesn't look badly treated. She goes well fresh and it may be worth taking a chance with her on this All-Weather debut. No shortage of dangers with the in-form Prima Stella heading the list. She comes here in good form having won a couple of minor events this year, but she looks worth taking on off her current mark. River Days is another who has been making hay through the winter and even though she has to run off a 7lbs higher mark in this, she cannot be left out of calculations. Last Exhibit has obviously been difficult to keep sound, but she does have ability and is another to merit consideration.
