Verdict
A tight looking bumper with similar levels of form but ROSS BAY can prove good enough. Christy Roche's filly has come up against very useful opposition on all three starts to date scoring comfortably at Sligo in August and beaten a total of three lengths by One Cool Tornado and Bullock Harbour in the other two events. That form looks too strong for Roszas Girl, whose victory over Mister Music Man was devalued when the runner-up was beaten subsequently. Coomanaspic ran well enough on her debut here to warrant respect and she's likely to be ridden with more restraint while Dawn Flyer caught the eye with a nice introduction behind House Rules at Gowran and will have come on considerably for the run.
