Verdict
BALQAA is her best here and won over 1m2f at the track before going close over today’s trip last time. Clear of the rest on that occasion, she gets another chance. Kiritimati Island opened his account with a course and distance success when ahead of Rocket Dancer while Cloch Nua placed again when third at Southwell. Key Look and Martin's Brig may prove best of the rest.
