Verdict

SISTER CYNANE (8) was a high-priced yearling that has not lived up to the price tag yet. She has shown some talent, and with more time to mature, she should be able to pick up a maiden win at short notice. Hard to beat. DOROTHEA (11) has not raced up to her strong trial form yet, but will be a lot stronger this season. She won another trial last month, and with the aid of a 7lbs claim, she looks to be well placed to run a big race fresh up. Check the market. SASSALITA (12) makes her debut and has won her only public trial quite comfortably by a length. She has a good draw and has to be respected. WRITTEN GLOW (13) won the latest of her 2 public trials by 4 lengths. She has a handy gate and is sure to have plenty of admirers on debut. Watch closely.
