Verdict

Mandooma is a bit of a course specialist but her close up third last time pushes her mark up to a burden that she has never carried to victory. With that in mind a chance is taken with STELLERINA, who got off the mark on her first start in over 400 days and looks to be off a fair mark if building on that. Foxtrot Alpha chases a hat-trick but was all out to win on the latest of those so might be up against it under a revised mark.
