Anadora won over track and trip on her reappearance with Loves Me Likearock and Harry Three filling the places and Robjon and Dig Two further behind. She should figure again while several are open to improvement handicapping for the first time including Annaf, Ingra Tor and the returning MANACCAN. The latter ended last season with a decent fourth in the Group 3 Cornwallis here in October and an entry in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Ascot later in the year suggests John Ryan’s charge is held in high regard.
