Further rain would be a concern but GEETANJALI is the one to beat in this as long as the ground doesn’t become too testing. She’s won three times this year, once on Turf, and is holding her form well. The likes of Collegiate, now blinkered, and Hyperactive has to be worth a second look now handicapping but First Experience is returning from a break, though is a previous course winner. Qaswarah and Star Of Athena may be best of the rest as Golden Image may now be in the handicapper’s grip.
