Verdict

BLISSFUL BONITA remains on a steady upward curve and is taken to get off the mark with the step up in trip sure to suit. Granville Street is potentially on a good mark back down in class and is next best ahead of the in-form Miss Australie.

1	Dual-purpose performer who went close off this mark in a big field at Navan in the spring. Unable to build on that since but step up in trip could help.
