Verdict
My Poem seems best when racing against her own sex while Arij is now 0-6 over timber, though has found some form again in recent starts. Despite creeping up the ratings lately, LEOPOLDS ROCK should be another for the champion jockey as he never seems to run a bad race. Windy Cove may prove the pick of the remainder ahead of Mise Raftaire.
