In depth
Verdict
This is for horses who haven't won four times or haven't scored since November and ANCONA could be inegilible for such a race after today. She began her winning run in a much better race at Turf Paradise before completing her hat-trick in fine style on this track. Diamond Legacy finished behind Checkerboard and Right On By here last month but did much better when runner-up a week later and should make her presence felt. Sexy Dance hasn't been in the best of form but drops a grade on her debut on the track and shouldn't be dismissed.
