Verdict
Syrena produced her best runs on very fast ground in mid-summer and, though she's disappointed recently, will have her favoured conditions. Mona Lisa's Smile was a long way behind her in a Tipperary Listed race in August and hasn't shown much improvement so the stable may have a better chance with THE TOOTH FAIRY. By Galileo out of Red Evie and a full-sister to the brilliant Found, she didn't get going until much too late on heavy ground at Gowran last month and will know much more today. Dermot Weld's horses are in good form so the Rock Of Gibraltar filly Kastasa is one to keep an eye on while Eleganter and Ruler In Pink are types to improve.
