Verdict

Armed with a good draw, plenty of experience and strong form claims, IPANEMA QUEEN can bounce back from her defeat on soft ground at Ayr. Controlled is the unknown quantity and he did win very well at Naas, while the second that day Aegina might well have a lot more to offer.[Alistair Jones]
