Verdict
Zariyna enjoyed stepping up in trip and soft ground when scoring at Gowran and there's more to come from her as there is from Opa Loca, who is blinkered for the first time after three narrow defeats against decent rivals. Legendary Times will enjoy the soft conditions as she did when gaining an impressive victory in a Gowran handicap though a 7lb rise won't help matters. She holds Lady Bennett on that run but may find the concession of 6lb to the three-year-old MAHAAZEN beyond her. Dermot Weld's filly was having her first start since October when runner-up in a tough handicap at the Curragh last month and with progress guaranteed she looks the one to beat.
