Verdict
Marsa stayed on strongly behind Exquisite Acclaim over 6f here three weeks ago and the winner has since run well at Listed level but SANGRIA made most when tackling this trip at Limerick and was only caught in the closing stages. She found 5f too short at Tipperary next time and has been given a break. Queens Command has shown good pace over a mile while Pulse Of Poppy led for a long way over an extended 5f at Navan. Grizabella ran well in what looked a decent maiden at Galway, with Save Your Breath behind, while Lechro was staying on strongly over 6f at Naas.
