Verdict
Experience on this track may just give Rose Of Coma the edge here and she is taken to score from Dazzling Dust and Rioja Ruby. The selection was a beaten favourite over c&d on debut last month, but moves from a claimer into this seller now, and if she can get off to a better kick from the gates then she looks more than capable of getting her nose in front. Dazzling Dust was not far behind that day and has come out and run second to Dispol Diva in a claimer since then, so Bill Turner's colt is in good heart and would not be a surprise winner. Rioja Ruby was out of her depth in a Beverley maiden on debut but showed enough promise to suggest that in this grade she can be competitive, given that she should come on for that outing. It is interesting that Carly's Rose has Adrian Nicholls up and this debutante may therefore be the Haslam yard's first string, so watch the marker for clues. Kheley has not shown enough so far to be backable, while Bold Account is bred to be better over further in the coming years, and Rose Of Coma gets the nod.
