Verdict

The betting should be informative where the newcomers are concerned, but ELLIPTIC looked a good prospect when readily seeing off a couple of subsequent winners at Tipperary and, with better surely to come from this filly, she looks the way to go. Missing Matron merits respect back down in grade having contested a Group 3 last time, but debutants Rapidus and Dr Zempf may emerge as the main dangers.

  1. ELLIPTIC (IRE)

  3. DR ZEMPF
