Perfect Quest is a perfect two out of two so far this season buts steps up in trip and grade today and she may be found wanting on going that is probably too testing. Luna Mare will handle conditions but races from out of the handicap. Mighty Lady could go well if fully wound-up and makes more appeal than Turning The Table and Marsh Pride but LORELINA is sure to have benefited from her reappearance at Brighton and gives the impression she’ll appreciate this longer distance.
