Verdict

Faery Song and Cape Rosie have shown enough in maiden company to be of interest but neither look especially well treated for the move into handicaps, whilst Donna Graciosa has claims but houses a somewhat erratic form profile and is very hard to second guess. Spring Dixie is a consistent performer expected to be in the mix once again and Hyphaema retains scope for progression. However, SNAPPY GUEST goes well for young Daniel Muscott and has yet to run a bad race in five starts in the current campaign. He still looks on a feasible mark and although up to this trip for the first time, his style of running does suggest he'll handle the additional yardage.
