I see there has been solid support for Emerald Gal (13/2 into 3/1). It's fair to say that her MR has been achieved over 1200m, has had one attempt at 1600m and finished 6th, 7.00 lengths off from a wide draw. Has a decent draw and appears to have been running on last time out over 1200m. Breeding suggests she should get the extra comfortably, but not for me.

Know The Ropes to me is likely to improve further. Since being fitted with blinkers, she is a different proposition, and not being thrown in the deep end again by taking on a higher merit rated division than her last outing. I think they placing her correctly. The draw is a bit of a concern, but if overcoming that hurdle from the jump, she'll be the one they all have to beat.

Fancy the double with The Secret Is Out in the 2nd. She is well in under the race conditions and whilst not racing fit, her class may pull her through.
