Verdict
CEEDWELL can retain her unbeaten record by getting the better of Oondiri and Tillys Tale. Gertmegalush won a seller well enough but could be biting off more than he can chew in this company which represents a stiff starting point for Bonasera. Tillys Tale showed speed for a long way in the Hillary Needler and is no forlorn hope having readily accounted for Parbold Hill on her third start. The selection justified strong market support ahead of her Carlisle debut and ran on strongly to land the money. She's bred to make a fast juvenile and was described by her trainer as the nicest filly she's had in a long time and Ceedwell can take this race in her stride before having her sights raised.
