Verdict
None of these have looked like winning so far and all make their handicap debuts. ROCK GIRL finished runner-up over the minimum trip here earlier without threatening the winner though this extra distance should suit. Royal Mariner has shown slight improvement with every start so far and the same can be said of Destiny's Spirit though Poppy Field and Padre Daniele have gone backwards.
