Verdict

ARTISSIMO (6) did enough in her initial prep to say that there would be further improvement in her this season, and a recent trial placing confirms that she has developed nicely over her spell. She may already want more ground, but she is likely to go close to taking this out. ROCCADONNA (4) ended her last season with an unplaced effort in the G2 Lowland Stakes, and she too has gone the right way after her spell by winning a recent trial comfortably. Look for her late. LA DANZA (1) was placed in 4 of her 6 starts as a 3YO, ending that campaign in the G3 Championship Stakes out of the money. Her recent trial was good, and she can figure in the top 4 fresh up. AQUADREAM (14) makes her debut with the advantage of the coveted pole position, and she has been well educated at the trials. She will be ready to rumble on her home track. MAFIA WHISPERS (9) has had some market support in her last couple of runs, and may improve on a firmer surface. Stick with her.
