Verdict
This should be between HARBA and Peach Melba , both of whom have been in fantastic form so far this season. The first-named shades preference as she won more convincingly than the official distance suggests at Yarmouth last time out, and though that hasn't escaped the notice of the handicapper means she could have much more to offer given the progression she has shown so far this year. Mark Johnston's filly also has potential to improve though, and seems to go on any kind of ground. These two are expected to be clear of the third, who may be Rebel Surge now dropping in class from Listed company.
