Verdict

RAVENS GLOW (12) finished third, beaten 2.75 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 6 ½f at Seymour after she was in the firing line on the turn. This is an easier assignment and can get the job done. NARILAO (3) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in fourth over 6f at Moe. Likely improver who should go well. COME DANCING (8) finished 8 lengths from the winner in seventh at her most recent appearance over 6f at Moe. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver. LADY OF KILDARE (14) is a first-starter from a stable whose horses generally improve into the prep, but has trialling adequately and strikes the right type of race to show up fresh.
