RACING POST VERDICT
Keepsgettingbetter has two wins in her last five starts and finished a length behind the winner last time off a lower mark; she is progressive and acts at a mile to a mile and a half on good and all-weather. A first-time tongue-tie is added and the trainer and jockey combination inspire confidence. Granville Street, Royal Alliance and Faro Island are the dangers — each has recent placed form and conditions to suit. Keepsgettingbetter is our selection.
