Verdict

BELIEVED is going the right way and could strike now up in trip. From a debut fourth at this track, she progressed to finish runner-up behind a useful sort in Leopardstown. She's a half-sister to a Melbourne Cup winner, which bodes well for her first crack at 1m4f. Joseph O'Brien's Diligo is a half-brother to a Listed winner over 1m6f, so he shouldn't be stopping at the end of this distance. Cite Florale ran a cracker at 80/1 when third in a fillies' maiden at Naas and the winner franked the form with another success in Killarney. There is plenty of stamina in her pedigree, so she should relish this new trip. Minella Rockett and newcomer Werifesteria could go well.

Top Tip: Believed (9)
Watch out for: Diligo (2)

BELIEVED has shaped with promise on both of her starts so far despite showing signs of greenness. She sets the standard on form and with further improvement expected up in trip she is chosen to defeat Cite Florale who should also relish this greater stamina test having rallied over 10f last time. The consistent Minella Rockett was too keen on his reappearance but should also play a part if back to the level of his autumn form here.
