Verdict
The switch to a visor paid dividends as ROSE’S GIRL (NAP) won by over three lengths over track and trip last week. She can defy a penalty dropping down a grade. Canagat is still well in despite his penalty, though his earlier success here came over 7f and he failed to land the odds last week. Balqaa drops down in distance having won over 1m2f at the track last month but Top Attraction was beaten only a neck over course and distance recently and We Still Believe finished in front of Silver Dust when fourth here.
