In depth

Verdict

Not a strong event for the grade. It looks a golden opportunity for Poetic Lady after some solid efforts in handicaps but she'll likely be short odds, and this isn't the sort of race to be playing at short prices. A chance is taken on RUBYS CUBE who has plenty to find on form but was noted doing some good late work last time and may improve plenty for this extra half a mile. Oscar's Song hasn't really clicked yet but has time on her side and may do better.
