Verdict
Dixie Highway has been steadily making progress but it's a surprise to find her back over a mile after her improved run over 1m4f at Wexford. She may find a couple of these too sharp including GREANTA, whose best form last season was over this trip including her victory at Cork and she's found 1m2f too far this season. She gets the vote over Mezorgiorno, who has been gradually improving on Polytrack. Mystic Princess will like the conditions and didn't stay 1m3f at Limerick.
