Verdict
The once-useful Spruce Meadows has dropped to a lowly mark and looked ready to win soon when placed at Down Royal. BOSCA CHEOIL was having her fifth start and had shown nothing before landing a Tipperary handicap for which she’s been raised just 2lb so can go in again. Lisabetta still looks well treated despite her victory at Gowran while the veteran Aussie Valentine, who is on a long losing run, has run well the last twice and isn’t out of this. Evergreen And Red and Jazz Dreamers are others to note in a tricky handicap.
