Verdict
Quiet Moment is still a maiden and was well beaten when runner-up here last time. Goninodaethat is much better known as a sprinter these days though has won over this trip in the past but Melaniemillie has looked a few pounds high after her victory at Catterick. MELROSE GIRL has only had six runs and tackles this trip for the first time but she was staying on strongly over 6f at Redcar last time and, with more to offer, can get off the mark. Hitman began the summer on a mark of 77 and is now 15lb lower despite showing a bit more dash at Beverley last time.
