Verdict
Miss Adelaide has leading claims against Shannon Arms and newcomers Remus Lupin and Spring Dew. The latter has been working well by all accounts, and Jonathan Geake will be keen to impress potential new owners, so anything he saddles on the all-weather through the winter should be followed. However, experience counts for a lot, and with that in mind, Miss Adelaide fits the bill. The Barry Hills-trained filly was a bit too keen on her first outing for five months here 10 days ago, but ran well to chase home Russian Symphony. She had shown enough on Turf previously to suggest that she will pay to follow, and with that recent run under her belt, the daughter of Alzao should prove hard to beat. Shannon Arms made a bold bid to make all on his Limerick debut, and was only caught close home, but that was on very soft ground and it remains to be seen how he will handle the Polytrack on his first start over here. Walter Swinburn got off the ark last week and saddles the debutante Remus Lupin who should be noted in the market. On the evidence so far though, Miss Adelaide is the one to be on.
