Tassarolo comes into this eleven-furlong contest at Down Royal on a progressive profile and with a fitness edge over some of the opposition, which makes a compelling case for siding with her despite sitting three pounds below the top-rated Chapel Island and level with Limestone Red. Chapel Island holds the highest rating in the field and must be respected, while Limestone Red and No More Hiding are dangerous rivals who could each make their presence felt on good ground. The confidence here is modest, and punters should be aware this is a competitive fourteen-runner heat where the principals are closely matched. On balance, Tassarolo’s upward trajectory and readiness to run give her the edge, and she is the selection.
