Verdict

Dermot Weld has won four of the last five and TARNAWA can continue the sequence. Although she only beat Who's Steph a neck in a Naas Group 3 in May she's been making steady progress and was always travelling well when scoring over 1m4f at the same level at Cork. Goddess has been steadily improving all year and was good value for her narrow defeat of Credenza and Trethias in a Group 3 here last month while Roger Varian wouldn't be sending the lightly-raced Musidora winner Nausha here without good reason.
