In depth
Verdict
This could develop into a tactical affair and a handy position could prove to be imperative. Annabelle has started the campaign well and should be thereabouts off her current mark, although her style of running will always leave her susceptible in a truly run race. Gracious Air also has a slightly frustrating profile and despite being well treated at present, she has failed to deliver on too many occasions to trust implicitly. This is a lot tougher than the apprentice's maiden she won last time - which was her first victory from 13 starts. Geri Roulette and Dispol Foxtrot have more scope to add to their tallies, with the latter just preferred after another solid effort at Hamilton last time.
