Verdict
NELDA is comfortably the form pick and an official rating of 88 should easily be enough for a Roscommon maiden. She's run in much stronger company and her neck defeat at Galway should be good enough. Hazalaya has also been racing in decent events though hasn't been finding a finish while Muhaarar's Girl looked as though she needed further when staying on over a mile at Gowran. Rebecca's Girl did much better at Gowran though the only real threat to the selection could come from the newcomer Uncanny, by Churchill and the first foal of a winning miler.
