Race Overview
Undefeated AROLLA (13) has impressed in both outings and is good value to maintain her 100% record. She will, however, have to thwart the likely challenge of DOLLERINA (11) who was a wide-margin winner on her reappearance last month and is also open to further progress. UNCANNY (8) and VASDA (9), closely matched on the form of a recent Listed race in Ireland, have the means to make their presence felt too.
Selection:
13 - 11 - 8
