IPANEMA QUEEN has already tasted success at this level and with the return to the minimum trip expected to suit, she looks to hold serious claims again. Shine On Me and Boston Dan may well emerge as the pair to provide chief resistance.

Useful and improved effort when second of 21 in valuable sales event at York (6f, good to firm) last month and easily landed short odds in 5f Hamilton maiden (good to soft) since. On the upgrade.

Put experience to good use when making fourth start a winning one at Pontefract in July. Good placed efforts in nursery at York (6f) and Beverley (5f) since but this demands plenty of improvement.

Verdict
Confirmed debut promise at the second attempt when narrow winner of 5f Thirsk maiden at the beginning of August. Best not judged too hardly on his effort in a York sales race since as he was caught on the unfavored part of the track.

Verdict
Won a 5f listed event at the Curragh (good) last month and didn't see out 6f in a Group there since. Carries a 3 lb penalty for the listed success but should still be very competitive with the return to 5f in her favour.

Winner of fast-ground novices at Ripon (6f) and Thirsk (5f) in recent months. Good 1¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Hollywood Treasure when stepped up listed company at Newbury (5f, good to firm) 5 weeks ago but the reopposing Our Cody was ¾ length ahead in fourth.

Verdict
Progressive since tongue tied, making all in Beverley maiden and Ripon nursery (both 5f, good to firm). Improved again when ¾-length second of 7 to reopposing Temple of Athena (who received 2 lb) in 5f Chester nursery last Saturday. More on her plate at this level.

Performed with credit when fourth then fifth in 5f listed events at Newbury and York last month but they underline that she needs a bit more at this level. Encounters going softer than good for the first time.
