Verdict
Gonzaga placed yet again when dropped into classified company at Lingfield and finished well ahead of Fact Or Fable. But THE PRETTY WAY put a strong of placed efforts behind her when scoring in a handicap over 6f here last week by over three lengths and this extra distance may bring further improvement. Halwa Azyan has been thereabouts lately and has a shout on these terms.
