Verdict

PINK GODDESS has a C&D victory to her credit and six of her last seven starts have been on the track. She's 6lb higher than when scoring here in July but has run well since and it will be a surprise if she isn't thereabouts so is handed the vote. Fitzgutentyte disappointed at Killarney on the first day of the month after a fine effort previously at Cork while Grand Cru does better on faster ground. Indubitably ran well behind Kai Li at Ballinrobe on Monday but that fact that he's still a maiden after 22 career starts is off-putting. Worrel Creek may prove best of the remainder.
