Verdict

HAPARANDA, in line with her pedigree, showed much improved form for the step up in trip when landing an 11.2f Killarney handicap 38 days ago, looking well ahead of her mark. She gets the nod to defy the rise in the weights now her stamina is drawn out a little further. Thunder Kiss, Ela Katrina and Royal Free Hotel head up the dangers.
