Verdict
This looks a weaker contest than the one in which PALAIS GLIDE could only finish third when favourite over C&D six days ago. The Proclaimation filly clearly has some ability and will probably never have a better chance to break her duck. The danger may be Swift Breeze, who is a half-sister to a couple of winners, though her stable is going through a quiet spell at present. Fellow newcomer Nahawand is also respected as she has a dirt pedigree and the yard's all-weather runners have been going well of late.
